Blackbox is good
by _jameshales - Jan 2nd 2006 01:39:36
Blackbox is great. Simple, fast, easy on the RAM, fairly good-looking and
my favourite Alt+ window moving/resizing functionality.

cant run Blackbox on my RedHat 7.3
by R-I-P - Mar 29th 2003 16:09:46
i have downloaded the blackbox-0.65.0.tar.gz arhive from
http://freshmeat.net/ ...
then i dearhivated in my root directory ...
cd blackbox-0.65.0
./configure
make
make install
and now what?
i read something like this:
Configuring your display manager to accept Blackbox. If you have kde
installed and you logged in using a gui, then most probably you are using
kdm/ xdm. In that case, edit /usr/sbin/fndsession. Add an entry for
blackbox like this:
[ -x /usr/local/bin/blackbox ]
&& {
if [ "$FIRST" = "yes" ];then
LIST="$LIST;blackbox"
else
LIST="$LIST=blackbox"
FIRST="yes"
fi
}
Then, edit this file /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession.
Add an entry for blackbox like this:
kde)
exec startkde
;;
gnome)
exec gnome-session
;;
blackbox)
kfm &
kpanel &
xterm -ls &
exec /usr/local/bin/blackbox
;;
but i cant find this file /usr/sbin/fndsession so i have created it ...
the blackbox is not here ... /usr/local/bin/blackbox maybe in
/usr/local/share/blackbox ... duno :>
and after i restart the X ... i try to lauche the blackbox from
/root/blackbox-0.65.0/src/blackbox :>
duno if its right or not ... but its not working :>
i realy need help ... pls some one explayn me HOWTO

Re: cant run Blackbox on my RedHat 7.3

The easiest way to get blackbox running is to add it to your ~/.xinitrc
file. Delete or comment out all the lines that start twm. Then simply
add /usr/local/bin/blackbox (assuming the executable is in
/usr/local/bin). You'll want to create a ~/.blackbox directory. Copy the
sample menu file from the source distribution into the ~/.blackbox
directory. Startx should fire up blackbox.

Updates?
by lunix_fan - Nov 2nd 2001 15:51:24
Since Brad moved off to Norway and handed off to the co-author Jeff Raven
in the middle of 2000, has anything been done with blackbox? It would be a
shame for such a sweet window manager to just fade out. And before some
one suggests I pick it up, let me just say I cant code my way out of a wet
paper bag.

Blackbox is great
by Bruce Forsberg - Dec 9th 2000 01:42:11
Just got done downloading Blackbox and in less than 10 minutes got it
compiled, installed and running. Now with my 64MB laptop I can finally get
rid of bloated KDE and breath some life back into my laptop. Half of
available memory should not be used for a window manager! From one open
source C++ developer (http://osalp.sourceforge.net) to another, keep up
the great work.

focus-follows-mouse
by Cryptnotic - Jun 17th 2000 07:54:43
Dude, you can change the focus model. Just read the README file that comes
with
blackbox and it will tell you how to do it.

Very cool...... but the ClickToFocus is annoying
by Karina - Oct 27th 1999 21:15:39
Been using blackbox since April 99, It's an excellent windowmanager, in my
opinion maybe the best, but one little thing annoys me, I keep praying the
ClickToFocus method will be changed so I don't have to keep holding Alt or
clicking the window frame to focus, just want to be able to click anywhere
in a window and have it focused. Playing with Windowmaker now because BB's
focus method became so annoying. Let's hope it's modified, I know it's a
sore point for many of us.

fast, attractive, easily configured
by hellraiser4 - Feb 27th 1999 23:34:03
all of the above :-)
seriously though, i run blackbox on my 486 DX/33 which has like 500k
of video memory, and it still flies.. also run it on my P100. with the
P100 being the fastest computer i have at the moment, and just after being
a WM convert, this is a huge change. I was surprised at how small it was,
yet the level of configurability is quite large. i like the gradient [as
opposed to pixmap'd] interface, as this saves a shitload of cpu/mem. look
forward to the future of blackbox :-)

blackbox
by PimpSmurf - Feb 4th 1999 03:46:41
listen people.
linux isn't a playground. It may become that in the future, but right
now linux is a operating system for those who want a working os. It
doesn't crash. It is fast. It is functional. It isn't pritty. This is
blackbox. However blackbox DOES have a nice look. It is very simple. It i
small, fast, easier than anything else I have seen to configure. It is for
someone who want to get stuff done!
If you are looking for a start button... pritty icons... or other
rather silly, kernel consuming, poorly coded workability. Get another
Window Manager. Blackbox isn't for you. For you who want to get things
done fast... GET IT!
It is a revolutionary WM that gets back to the linux basics.
I highly applaud Brad Hughes for this remarkable peice of work..
excuse the rant.

Re: blackbox
by ep98 - May 23rd 2002 02:46:03
maybe is good, but on some "LFS" systems, also and on Debian 3.0 'woody'
wont to work, Fluxbox that is based on Blackbox, works pretty good.
