It's not documented perfectly (ie. extensive explanations), but here are some pages you can look at: http://blackboxwm.sourceforge.net/BlackboxDocumentation/BlackboxStyles/ There's a full 0.70 example there, and a most up to date one can be produced using bstyleconvert on a blank file. I can also try to answer any questions anybody may have. Perhaps it would be a good idea to talk to Anatoly Asviyan, the maintainer of fbpanel, and ask if he would be interested in writing a plugin for configuring fbpanel. I've taken the liberty to CC him. I know that a graphical configuration utility for fbpanel has been marked "high priority" for a while now on the fbpanel tracker, so he might be up for it. I mean, he might just prefer to write a plugin instead of writing a full GUI from scratch. The fbpanel config file has a simple syntax and, naturally, he already has a parser written. The only issue I see is that Anatoly is probably more versed in GTK/C than Qt/C++. Many people use fbpanel together with Blackbox, from what I gather, so this would make bbconf an even more popular and useful tool. -- Ciprian Popovici -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
