To learn about Openbox themes:

http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Themes

You can just edit the themerc with a text editor but if you want a GUI:

Re: [solved] openbox/gtk theme creation?

best way to start is find a theme and edit it.

Then check out all the possibilities in the top link @annonymous gave as you'll find some extra things to play with.

Re: [solved] openbox/gtk theme creation?

For GTK themes, I agree with Tawan - find a theme you kinda like and edit its gtk-2.0/gtkrc file.  I'd recommend starting with Philip's excellent CrunchBang and CrunchBang-Light-Gray themes, as they are both extremely well documented with inline comments.
