It is amazing what some fonts can do for the looks of a window manager.
This is the fonts as found in obconfig, tab Appearance in my aptosid openbox install:
Active window title: Avenir LT45 s14
Inactive window: Title Cicle Fina13
Menu header: DejaVuSans ExtraLight 12
Menu Item: Liberation Sans 12
Active On-screen display: DejaVuSans ExtraLight 12
Inactive On-screen display: Sans 12
It should be added that this is shown on a 24 inch monitor, 1920x1200

Logout in openbox with keyboard keys
Sometimes I have my monitor shut down but leave my pc on for some downloading or transcoding or other job. It is nice to have a keyboard shortcut to do that, I use W+x and put this between the command bracket:
sudo shutdown -c.
/home/user/.config/openbox/rc.xml
... xterm -e "sudo shutdown -h +1" ...
Replace xterm if you are using another terminal. One minute is to give me the opportunity to have second thoughts and cancel with ctrl +t and
sudo shutdown -c.
