Menu navigation via keyboard is now a reality and not some myth, that even myself thought we already had it implemented :P. Guess I just never used my keyboard for my menu before. Anyways it's included in the latest nightly. Also fixed - DelMenu fix, now you can't keep opening the same menu over and over... You can grab it here

Site Update		2003-11-25 18:57:44
Ok I noticed Auto is using flux box so I added a nix Variant option for selecting what version you are using. Just state in the description which variant you're using. Hehe it'd be alot of stuff to put just to put the most common box wm's on the submit page :P

Life Made Easy		2003-11-22 17:34:24
Just posted the info to the Forums, right about there actually. I wrote a little utility that should make some people's lives easier. It's called BBController, it's a command line utility that will allow you to seemlessly execute differant "hidden" commands in BB4Win (and hopefully xoblite and BBLean as well, though not tested :D ) All the information you need should be in that post. In other wonderous news, Fatman has posted BBShelf 0.7. Still very much a beta release, it does now actually show icons and apparently allow limited interaction (read clickin on) of the icons. Hey, this is an awesome start and I can't wait to see more of what will be going into BBShelf! Fatman does note that he will be concentrating on school studies for the next little while and has little time to dedicate to BB coding. We wish Fatman the best of luck at his studies, and await the next release of BBShelf :) And in not so wonderous news, Bluebox's site is down at the moment. I got in contact with nivenh and he said they are moving servers and it should be resolved "soon", just some glitches that need worked out. We will let you know as soon as we hear anything.

And the award goes to...		2003-11-17 15:24:20
snkmchnb for uploading screenshot #500! A nice screenshot/style of everyone's favorite Internet characters theHomeStar Runner crew. It's been almost 3 months since screenshot number 250, almost 2 years since this site was launched, and we are working on the 3rd revision of the site (and still no preview function). Lots has happened in the community in this time: We've seen the birth of 2 branches to the BB4Win family, we've seen the coming, going, returning of many fine developers, we've seen the closing of one of the most prominent sites for box, but through everything I've seen a community that is strong and close-nit. We, the administrators of box.cm.us, would like to thank everyone who has contributed to this site with screenshots, styles, and administrative help. We would like to thank everyone for making this a beautiful and fun community. And we'd like to thank all those (ex-)developers, (ex-)website maintainers, and people who just help out for helping to make this such an exciting community to be a part of.

And the gavel lands		2003-11-12 18:08:24
Some of you have commented on the situation with auto and Saligia about this screenshot. Well, I got in touch with one of the admin at DeviantArt, namely dygel of the Policy Violation Support Team in reference to all this. We had a nice little chat on IRC and this is what was said. [17:40] <Tres`ni> Hi, I'm the administrator of box.crackmonkey.us [17:41] <Tres`ni> One of my users posted a screenshots where his wallpaper was a picture submitted to deviant art [17:41] <Tres`ni> (Just a sec I'll get ya a link) [17:41] <Tres`ni> http://box.crackmonkey.us/index.php?action=info&cat=ss&id=517 [17:42] <Tres`ni> Now, if ya read the comments, the original author seems to be taking offense that auto used the author's image in his screenshot [17:42] <Tres`ni> I'm just trying to make sure that auto has done nothing wrong, and also, what the DA stance on this type of stuff is [17:43] <dygel> We don't have a stance. This is a non-issue. [17:43] <Tres`ni> How so? [17:43] <dygel> Desktop Screenshosts are covered by fair use. [17:43] <dygel> So, the permission issue is a non-issue. [17:44] <dygel> auto's fine. [17:45] <Tres`ni> One more question, (sorry if I'm being a pain) if auto had uploaded the wallpaper would this be differant story? [17:46] <dygel> It would be different story, yes. [17:46] <dygel> Redistribution of another's copyrighted work is a non-trivial issue. [17:47] <dygel> However, since the case in question only involves a desktop screenshot, it's analogous to, say, taking a picture of the inside of someone's house. [17:47] <dygel> Technically, you're redistributing the art on their wall, but it's not a picture made for that purpose. [17:48] <dygel> The simplest thing to do would be allow links to where the themes were posted. So, in conclusion, feel free to upload screenshots, even if the wallpaper is not of your making and you don't have permission. And style authors, if you use someone else's wallpaper, don't offer it for download on your site, but instead, link to the site where the wallpaper is distributed.
