Openbox does not change window button icons

Hello. I'm trying to change my Openbox theme and everything works just fine, except for the window icons. Instead of the X for close and the other icons, I get some dots for all the themes the I install myself. For example, this one: https://github.com/addy-dclxvi/openbox- … /openbox-3 
 
It has all the .xbm files but still doesn't work. And I've noticed that the pre-installed themes don't have these .xbm files, so I guess it uses BL default icons. 
Anyway, I copied the Leve-Cyan/ folder to /usr/share/themes/. I exhausted all my Google searches and didn't find anything, pls halp. thanks!

Edit: Btw, I do have a GTK theme installed on my /usr/share/themes folder and changed the appearence on lxappearance as well.

Probably a permissions issue. Try putting in ~/.themes

Re: Openbox does not change window button icons

It's because the xbm files in most of the themes hosted on your git page are the dot window decorations. I found two that had something different.

You can delete the dot xbm files currently in the theme and openbox will default to small standard window decorations - x for close etc .., or you can copy over a set you like to replace the ones currently installed.

Copied over the xbm files from the Natura theme:
