Hi all!
I don't know what part of the Linux my problem is related to, but it is more about GUI, I believe. Without any obvious reason all windows started to look this style:
I'd like to return my 'classic' look of CrunchBang which was like that:
https://debmintux.files.wordpress.com/2 … _scrot.png
Do you have an idea what happen and how to fix it?
The distro:
CrunchBang waldorf
Linux 3.2.0-4-486 #1 Debian 3.2.96-2 i686 GNU/Linux
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried using lxappearance to change the themes?
Can we please see the output of:
cat ~/{.gtkrc-2.0,.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini}

No, I never changed the default settings. The output is below.
cat ~/{.gtkrc-2.0,.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini}
# DO NOT EDIT! This file will be overwritten by LXAppearance.
# Any customization should be done in ~/.gtkrc-2.0.mine instead.

The date for these files is May 2015, when, probably, this distro was installed.

OK, yes, they look normal.
The usual cause for a problem like this would be an attempted upgrade to another Debian release or mixed sources, to investigate this further we need to see the output of:
apt-cache policy
I would also note that #! Waldorf is based on Debian wheezy which is now oldoldstable and completely unsupported.
As such, I strongly recommend that you re-install with a distribution based on a supported release.
We should hopefully have a new release out soon based on Debian 9 (stretch) and there are several other #!-like distributions available.

i suspect an upgrade has removed the crunchbang themes?
also the openbox theme has reverted to default.

... problem like this would be an attempted upgrade ...
This might be the case. Before I encountered the GUI problem I was struggling to upgrade nginx from version 1.6.? (which was the latest for my distro) to a newer one, and finally, to my surprise, "succeeded" to get the newest 1.13.4, adding two lines to the /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/debian/ wheezy nginx
deb-src http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/debian/ wheezy nginx
Meanwhile, the output:
$apt-cache policy

Pinned packages:
Yes, I understand that the distribution I use is outdated, but I just couldn't afford any delay in my daily work (still can't figure out if I can upgrade to the stable distro from bunsenlabs without complete reinstall of all the tools I use). Will give it a try in January.

@dmitrymyadzelets, those sources have probably caused the problem you are experiencing and it can be a very tricky thing to fix, unfortunately.
I think you should take this opportunity back up all of your important files and look at migrating to a supported operating system.

Ok, I got it, will make a clean installation. Thank you for your time, and Happy New Year!
