I agree with that. It would be nice to have some Blackbox themes that closely match with some good and widely used gtk/qt themes. The Gtk theme Xeno* family has a very professional, clean look, and I'm already busy making a good machting Blackbox theme. Also I'm researching some different Meta-theme solutions. That way, when the user chooses a theme, blackbox and gtk and qt and motif and xaw3d could change to corresponding looks, when available. I think the layout of gtk themes already is prepared for this (e.g.: /usr/share/themes/MyUberCoOlTheMe/gtk/gtkrc /usr/share/themes/MyUberCoOlTheMe/qt2/ /usr/share/themes/MyUberCoOlTheMe/blackbox/ /usr/share/themes/MyUberCoOlTheMe/xaw/ And when there is standardized on a solution to signal theme changes, one could select a nice theme from the Whatever Control Center and have Blackbox nicely react as well. Of course Blackbox should always retain its own elegant style switching solution. (IMHO bb makes for a very cool and complete desktop env. with just some rxvt's and a fast fm like ROX) sorry for the long rant, have fun, -- Wilbert Berendsen (http://www.xs4all.nl/~wbsoft/) Error: Your keyboard is not connected!
