Brand-new Blackbox user here, so apologies if I'm rehashing something
or if I'm missing out on some obvious Blackbox philosophical point,
but here's one thing that I keep getting caught on having moved from
WindowMaker and still using NEXTSTEP occasionally:
The bar at the bottom of the frame *looks* like a NEXTSTEP bar, and
the corners of it *work* like a NEXTSTEP bar. But, when working with
primarily xterms, it's important to quickly change the height of a
window without disturbing its 80-column-ness. In NEXTSTEP or
WindowMaker, the middle of the bar (that looks the same!) lets you do
that; since the UI element is already present, this sort of thing
would be Very Useful Indeed.
Of course, for all I know, it's an easy patch; I haven't had the
chance to poke around in the source at all yet.
