BBRun Reloaded, Works On x64 Systems 2011-12-08 00:29:25
The -r- uploaded his latest bbrun release, which works on x64 systems as well.
bbRun / bbRunBar is a configurable "run" plugin, originally designed for bbLean, compatible with Xoblite and other branches of Blackbox For Windows 32 and 64 bits.
Features
* Configurable, click-able, Text-only, no-buttons input box
* Open files with shell parameters, run shell commands, Broadcast Messages (Broams: call menus, interfaces, anything possible with blackbox)
* Creates and uses aliases allowing to turn complex operations into simple user-friendly commands
* Recursive aliases (alias of an alias of...) with placeholders ($) and prefix modes.
* Since bbRun can be invisible and its Alias system can be used from outside (@bbrun.run), menus and interfaces can also use bbRun features.
* Environment variables for the whole Blackbox environment, increasing possibilities for other plugins (such as bbInterface) and portable applications (no install needed) to create a portable and powerful system (e.g.: instantly working from a flash drive in any PC)
* Everything set up and managed from its configuration file: bbrun.rc )
* Optionally shrink Blackbox memory each time a shell command is executed. Useful on older low memory NT/XP systems.
* Command history, aka Most Recent Used (MRU) list, configurable.
* 2 interfaces to choose: classic bbRun (a pop-up dialog) or bbRunBar (blackbox style bar or box)
Interface
bbRun user interface is minimal: like Windows "Run" dialog (Win+R hotkey), and the current directory is displayed. Like a console, but no output.
2 user interface versions are included:
* bbRun: standard run dialog, invisible, called by Broam (or hotkey).
* bbRunBar: blackbox-style bar, sizeable, configurable; it can be hidden, or used inside the Slit. Vertical layout can be used for a "more box than a bar" aesthetics.

BBClean-XZ Mk II, A Blackbox Landmark 2011-11-16 02:45:29
XZero450 is working on his next release, which will be revolutionary for two main reasons – among other things.
First, he will attempt to unify BBClean and BBLeanMod into one build, incorporating more of nocd5 and Alex3D enhancements and working on gradients so that will match those of BBClean, BBWinMod and Xoblite. As he says, “thus, plugins can be compiled against all 3 bases and render similarly”.
Second, the looks of Blackbox for Windows branches will go one step further, by BBClean-XZ Mk II incorporating a menu grip. Now, the older members among you may remember Lithium Desktop by the Mouse People, a Blackbox for Windows look-alike shell that was not free and that went down the drain soon after its release in the early 2000s. The only remarkable thing about this shell was that, besides using Blackbox style structure, it included a grip at the bottom of the menus, a bar exactly like Menu Title but at the bottom. This grip will be handled by the same Menu.Title style commands, but as Menu.Grip. Thus, menus will be much prettier, with menu.grip color, texture and height absolutely adjustable. Release date will be announced shortly…

BBClean-XZ Updated 2011-11-03 23:26:18
XZero450 made a good build even better by tweaking some rendering problems on his BBClean-XZ build and adding outline text, as in BBLeanMod by nocd5. He also put together a full package for newbies, including everything they need to run BBClean-XZ right away (rc files, bsetroot/bsetbg, plugins, and his own styles).

BBClean-XZ Released, Works On Windows 7 2011-10-25 00:10:00
XZero450 released his customized BBClean for public use. It has some features not used before, since – as XZero450 himself puts it – “never made it into the public releases because they were unpolished, untested, or were incomplete by my standards. Some were rejected by noccy who at the time was in charge of the development”. BBClean-XZ works perfectly well under Windows 7 and comes in a full package including, among other things, a customized bbleanskin. According to XZero450, bbleanskin “has some tweaks and changes. The major one that comes to mind is that it unrolls all the windows that have been rolled up. This is because I had issues with certain applications remembering that size and thus were no bigger than the titlebar the next time they were started. This will cause Blackbox to take a little longer to shutdown depending on the amount of windows skinned”. There is also a new SystemBarEx version, the plugin XZero “inherited” from Slade Taylor and enriched with various features. Like he says, “it’s only slightly different than the public release”.
BBClean-XZ is now one of the two Blackbox flavors with new characteristics, like split gradients, that perform perfectly well under Windows 7, the other being Xoblite RC3-4. Get it from http://www.xzero450.com/works/bbCLean-XZero450_custom.rar
