Hello,

I have been using bb-0.61 on my laptop now for some time.
I have tried it with and without the 'blackbox-taskbar-patches'
of Ignacio Thayer.

Personally I much prefer being able to immediately see which apps/windows
I have iconized on the toolbar and to open them again from the toolbar
then to have to pop up the "workspaces menu" every time just to see
what I have iconized and to open them from there.

It would also be very nice to have the option of setting a background
pixmap in the styles definitions next to 'solid', 'mod' and 'gradient'.
(and more elegant than using xv or display + some kind of script).
Especially for Eterm users like myself.

It should be possible to include both of these extensions without
straining the minimal qualities of blackbox very much (and they
could be made optional at compile time).

Including these extensions (optionally) is in any case slightly
easier than patching everytime (and possibly having to wait on
the patches catching up with new versions of blackbox (particularly
for non-programmers like myself who cannot adapt anything themselves)).

Are extensions like these being considered for possible inclusion?

Alexander
