Well, if you are looking purely at the configuration aspects (menu/style editors) of blackbox there is no real difference between bbconf and whiteBOX. I think as a menu editor and style editor they are pretty much evenly matched. bbconf does feature an excellent frontend for bbkeys, a feature which is still under development for whiteBOX, but not currently included. So .. maybe thats a reason to use bbconf. My main emphasis was to employ plugins which are bb specific first (menu/style), and then start moving on to plugins which, whilst not bb specific, allowed the user to customise their desktop. I had already developed the background tool as a standalone earlier and decided it could be useful in enhancing ones desktop (more easily). But, I suppose it really comes down to whether or not you like GTK or QT, like you said. Personally I prefer GTK to QT purely because i like the GTK LnF and I regularly have trouble compiling them on RedHat (coincidence?). I think you should probably try both and decide for yourself. Variety is generally always a good thing ... -luke
