I think this is a very valid point IMHO. Personally, I seldom use the toolbar since I can use a dockapp to tell the time, and I have a relaxed environment with many desktops so between that and the bbpager I don't really need the toolbar to tell me the workspace or the current window. On the other hand, I use the menu but I know people who would rather use a slit based solution, such as drawers or buttons. Third, should someone wish to implement an alternative toolbar, or a taskbar, or another menu, it would be better, I think, to have them create separate applications rather than submitting patches against Blackbox, which would be noticed by only a handful of people, used by even fewer, and eventually die out due to the Blackbox code advancing and not enough updating done on the patches. I for one would love to have bbtoolbar and bbmenu as separate applications. Of course, I wouldn't know what this means code-wise but I suspect it is easier to do since the shared library came to be. -- Ciprian Popovici -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
