[SOLVED] custom theme / suggestions openbox desktop menu code location

working on a thing, found a few openbox themes / tint2 themes but none of them match the artix theme colors imho, so i've decided to use the artix theme colors as my base. anyone know where the code is to change the desktop menu shortcuts theme/colors? it looks ugly fuggly with the gradient color. I'm shooting for a solid grey similar to the artix theme. Also im open to suggestions with icons and other methods of improving this theme. For example, i can't get the audio icon to show, which isn't a big deal because im using mate audio control shortcut, and also a simple shortcut to lower and increase volume.

ahh, the menu code was right in my face this whole time. I found it easier to reference the themerc file with other preset themes and went from there. The use of icons in the menu really adds the extra spark.
