Stylefile for blackbox ! written for linux blackbox 0.7 and then tweaked for windows bblean 1.16 ! -- info -- style.name: strakoth_01_bb7 style.author: blockhead style.date: April 2006 style.credits: style.comments: 0.7 syntax - wall at http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/31234111/ # strakoth by blockhead aka pcc # General Boy[1] says "Give the past the slip. It's time for new traditions." # written for linux bb 0.7 using the "new" (as of 2005) syntax *only* # note: wall is also by me and is on deviantart under my "blockhead" ID # seems to be that adding the word "border" at the end of an # "appearance" tag turns the border on[2]. This was really pissing # me off at first but once I "Got" it I realized the power & # flexibility: now every item independently can be set to have a # border or not, and a separate color, and a separate thickness. # Nice. # general/global: it's possible to set almost all attributes in # just a few lines. Wildcards are *really* nice. *appearance: flat solid *backgroundColor: rgb:2d/41/56 *foregroundColor: rgb:51/76/9a *textColor: rgb:5c/86/b0 *font: mints-strong # did you know that mints-strong isn't shown by recent versions of # fluxbox? Bad show!
