Gutterslob: That did the trick. Thanks!

And no, all it had was 2 folders, the GreyscaleMod and MetroSensual folders, each containing an gtk folder and a openbox-3 folder. There were no details.txt, font.conf, or tint2rc, although I would be extremely glad if you could point me in the general direction of those. :D

Once again, thanks for the help.

@Him:
When you extract the .zip/.tar file you should see a folder with the title of the theme (I'll use MetroSensual as an example), a tint2rc, a wallpaper archive/folder, a details.txt and a .fonts.conf , right?

Just copy the folder titled MetroSensual over to the .themes folder in your home directory (press Ctrl+h in your file manager to view hidden folders/files). You don't have to separate the GTK and the openbox3 folders, just keep them together inside the MetroSensual one.
Then use obconf (I think it's under "Preferences -> OpenBox -> GUI Config" in Crunchbang... not 100%sure, since I'm on Sidux and my menu labels are slightly different) / or press Alt+f2 and type "obconf".
Once it loads, you should be able to scroll up/down the themes list to find MetroSensual.

I'm a bit scatterbrained and tired right now, so I hope my explanation was clear enough (I suck at explaining stuff) >__<
Hope this helps.

Cheers

Edit:
You probably know this already since you said you managed to get the GTK to work, but I'll explain just in case....
If I remember correctly, the archive tool in PCManFM (the file manager that comes with #! 9.04, if you're using that one) doesn't support drag and drop. If that's the case, extract all the contents of the .zip/.tar into a temporary folder, and then copy and paste only the MetroSensual folder into the .themes one.

Gutterslob: I believe you once said that the gtk and openbox themes you used for your darker setups were GreyscaleMod and MetroSensual, and pointed us to a link where we could get them?

I've managed to install the GTK themes, but I can't quite figure out what I'm supposed to do with the openbox-3 files. Any pointers or tips?

It has been rebooted several times. ^^

I'll get around to sorting it all out eventually, just got to make the time to read up on these things.

I think I finally have my memory leak issues fixed on my conky guages. (crosses fingers :/ )

Wow! Those Conky gauges are awesome! The whole theme reminds me of a mat-black Harley Davidson for some reason. I bet if you added a Harley logo to the wallpaper, the Linux bikers out there would lap it up :)

Well, here it is. I don't quite have tint2 where I like it, and would like it darker, but it'll do for now. As for conky, I can't get the windowed option to go away, and if I do, it reloads on top of other windows.

Thanks Gutterslob!

I did look through Arpinuxs' DeviantArt gallery, but I couldn't find that specific one.
Big fan of your darker, muted screenshots. :D
