Unfortunately not many people will buy into that, doctorfrog. No matter how much us real folks beg for no pixmaps involved with this shell, all the litestep kiddies will tease and some new face will come along and transform blackbox into bloatbox. *sigh*

I'm mainly glad to see development of any kind progressing on this great shell. Me, I latched onto bb specifically *because* it didn't skin with bitmaps.

hmm strange, the original skinning prototype had bitmap skinning, but everyone seemed to think it was too much bloat at the time, so it was taken out. I for one would be happy to see that feature return.

Akselii, also to answer your last question...most plugins have an alwaysontop setting. BBInterface allows you to set each control individually. CTRL+Right click a control and go to Window Options. You will see the Always Ontop boolean. You could also open the bbinterface.rc and find your saved control and edit it's alwaysontop value manually.

Akselii, part of the fun of BB is digging through screenshots for ideas, and then digging through plugins and their config files to see what you can do. It feels kinda like finding treasure when you get that perfect setup for yourself. plugins list plugins forum

Just look the shots here and download a style you like. Often you find more inspiration like plugins that are used. Tastes are different, so it depends on you!

Wow holy crap, all this still exists. I haven't been on this site in forever. I'm glad to see blackbox, and all the other *box window managers and styles and stuff are still out there. So cool. Hi everyone!

Yknow, i found it really amusing to see the 32 bit version working on 98SE. i also find it just as hilarious that this still runs even on windows 11 machines.
