You can still use BlackBox with with Mandrake 8, as I
do.
But I agree!! Thanks for writing a Window Manager
that WORKS!!! A Window Manager that doesn't NEED to
have other Window Managers installed (WTF is up with
that??) A Window Manager that is light, fast, and
even has eye candy!
A question - Does anyone know a way to click INSIDE an
application and raise it? I am using a key binding
with BBKeys. But that is probably the only feature I
miss in Windows and other, bloated Window Managers.
Auto-raise doesn't work for me. I like to know I am
raising a window by clicking.
I'd like to see the black-box menu file could be more
configurable by using a real folder structure
somewhere on the hard drive, like in Windows.
Something like a #include in the menu file, then the
folder that was #include-ded would be ls-ed and then
used in the menu. One could drop actual programs,
symlinks, documents, whatever, into a logical layout
and then *boom* have a menu. One could even set up a
two-folder structure - a read-only (but
root-writeable) section with programs available to
everyone, and a personal section in the user's home
directory.
At the very least, I would like to see a menu builder
that simply scans a chosen folder and builds the menu
file that way.
I can't program worth jack or I'd bang one out. It
sounds relatively straightforward but I've yet to see
any equivalent in the Unix world. Why not make
BlackBox the first?
Anyways, thanks again, without the said improvements,
this Window Manager is still top notch!!
