blackbox menumaker

2001-12-09 Thread Richard Harris
Dear Brad and John, I use blackbox on SuSE and noticed they don't maintain a blackbox menu. But they do maintain a mwm menu each time you update the system (with YAST). So I wrote the attached python script to make a bb menu from the SuSE mwm menu. It's gpl - so you are welcome to it if you

Xinerama (kinda of)

I found 'sourceforge.net/projects/blackboxwm' (regisgtered 24-11-2001, using search). Why not 'blackbox' instead of 'blackboxwm'? BTW, if there is help needed to design a nice, adequate blackbox homepage, I am interested do help with that. because someone, somewhere has the

Nice. That does work, but it is a hack to something that I think should be in blackbox. It is pretty a standard programming practise to prompt the user before something like this, in my experience anyway. From my brief knowledge of the code base, I don't think it would be very hard to

Is there a way to get the pinboard for rox to work with blackbox? I do recall some discussion of rox on the list, and am wondering if anyone uses the pinboard with bb. Thanks for any pointers.

There might be a problem with that. There is currently no code in blackbox for displaying any dialog. So the confirm dialog would add a lot of code to blackbox. Not really. bb already knows how to create a window, some text and a button. It just has to display all three at once in a
