How to make the message box from the facebook theme take on the look of the message box from Goblue

Hello How can I get message list box from the go blue theme to go on to the facebook theme from https://github.com/lianglee/oinitial

Also the friend requests and Notifications too!!

You said you want your own theme to be a mix of oinitial and goblue, right?

Thus, you cannot blindly copy goblue files onto oinitial. Because it would overwrite all oinitial styles completely. Instead you have to find out every element you want to change manually and step by step. With Firefox, right-click on those elements of interest and choose "Inspect Element". Then go and find the corresponding code in OSSN and apply the necessary changes. I'm sorry, but a more detailed TODO is beyond my capabilities.

Create a new theme based on oinitial and apply the necessary style changes.
