My blackbox site, again

2002-05-17 Thread Ciprian Popovici

I took your suggestions and have finally got around to updating my site about 
blackbox accordingly. If you have a couple of minutes you can see it at 
http://xlife.zuavra.net/blackbox/ . Any comments would be appreciated.

comments:

on desktop icons, neither GNOME nor KDE's file manager based desktop icons will
work due to the way they are implemented.  This will change when netwm support
is added.

blackbox forks (by age):
  fluxbox
  waimea
  lain os
  hackedbox
  openbox

For those of you looking for the appeal of blackbox but the power (and price)
of E look at waimea.  It has translucent titlebars, pixmaps, user defined
actions, etc.

 How about getting a list of all user-run blackbox sites on
 the official BB page... :)

I had absolutely no idea there were so many BlackBox forks. I will have to
change the what is fluxbox section.

Each has its own reason for being.  Of all of them flux is probably the one
most people will play with.  waimea has promise as the next E, but like E will
take a few more releases before it really gets solid.

So how many people want blackbox associated with a site that has
apparently hundreds of pictures of dismembered bodies, suicides, murder
victims, and traffic accidents?

Everybody's got a right to their own weirdness, but that is f*cking sick,
and could make blackbox look bad.

just my 2 cents.

Definitely didn't have the guts to click the do you really want to go
in link; probably not the best thing for blackbox to be related to
*grin*

Maybe there needs to be a new fork with detachable window titles or
something for this guy ;-)

1) his domain name is tame
2) you have to wander around his site
3) he very clearly explains what is there and why, giving you the chance to not
   see it

I have no problem with linking to his blackbox page.

Scott, it is your site.  If anything some would feel better if the link to the
flesh page was removed from the blackbox section.  I won't ask that.



Re: My blackbox site, again

2002-05-17 Thread Mr. Brigham Young

Ok, I'll give, he does block it fairly well. Maybe he could make the link
a little clearer, or break BB off his main menu. My 13 yo daughter uses
BB, she's dumb enough to click through and I don't want to deal with the
nightmares.

Tally Ho Scott, I believe in free countries,

Thanks for understanding *why* the flesh page is there,
so many people don't get it.  freedom is the cornerstone
of most of my values. :)

...But i can see the reason why some would want the link
removed from the top of the links bar on my site...
that's no prob. for me to remove, but it will still be
in the drop-down menu, since that's global to the whole
site.  But like Sean noticed, the page has a disclaimer
and i do not mis-lead anyone about the content.

That said, i LOVE blackbox.  keep up the good work, i look
forward to posting even more screenshots and themes as i
get time in the next few days/weeks.
