i dont really understand this discusion. i understand my bb4win minimalism as a memory and procesor usage minimalism no t as "what i have o the desktop" minimalism. Its everybody choice what they do and what they wont to do with their desktop...

It's all in the users preference. Sure the interfaces look nice, But I'm like auto I'm happy with the standard blackbox desktop. Guess I get that from being old hehe :p

there may be an element of an existing community feeling as though it's getting steamrolled.

and how exactly is someone elses usage on their computers effecting you auto? Honestly. How does one having a sidebar actually interfere with 'you' having a minimal computer?

blackbox is about minimalism - atleast it used to be.

I am a bit biased i guess because i was using blackbox on linux years ago. When i started using windows on one of my machines i found litestep and was always trying to mimic bb. With multiple workspaces and the midclick tasks menu i have no trouble at all getting my work done. But to each his own i guess, my only thought is if people wanted to create large interfaces they should use litestep which is much more suited to that style of interface.

It's interesting you brought that up, auto; I was just thinking how it seemed most people use a taskbar (Windows-style) with their *box shell, but it looks from your screenshots that you don't. Does this work well for you? I was trying out the "classic" way to use blackbox (no taskbar, just toolbar + Workspaces menu) and the main thing that kept me from seeing if I could get used to it was no icons in the Icons menu...it took a really long time to figure out what was what. I'm just curious; not taking sides. :P

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.
