AFAIK the problem with ROX and Gtk themes has two aspects:

1) ROX uses the bg[NORMAL] color where base[NORMAL] should be use; this
is solvable in the themes' gtkrc file by defining a custom style. So in
a theme with entries that look like this:

style "default"
{
  bg[NORMAL] = { 0.259, 0.286, 0.329 }

[snip lots of irrelevant entries]

  base[NORMAL] = { 0.188, 0.200, 0.220 }
}


you have to add a custom style that remaps the color for base[NORMAL] to
bg[NORMAL].

style "rox" = "default"
 {
  bg[NORMAL]    = { 0.188, 0.200, 0.220 }
 }


2) The foreground color for the "Shell comand" entry is hardcoded to
black. This i have no idea if it's solvable in gtkrc.


Any ideas welcomed, I'm running ROX with a custom dark GTK theme and the
only issue I have is with the foreground color of the shell command.
