bbpal is just a little guy who sits in the corner and looks at you, like xeyes. > Second: When I switch between windows (cycle through active > programs) I notice it is only displaying what is on the > title of the active program, and not the application name. > Is there a way to get this working.

As for remembering the window size/location/etc no that is not in blackbox and I do not plan to add it. We talked this over about two months ago and some people were hashing out code ideas.

However it makes a lot of sense to use freshmeat as the place for themes.org. It probably should have been there the whole time. The important thing is this: each wm does not have to maintain a heavily hit site on their own. Combine that with a consistent interface and we all win. At least we have themes.org back.
