this is defined in the man page: Blackbox provides configurable window decorations, a root menu to launch applications, and a toolbar that shows the current workspace name, the focused application name, and the current time. There is also a workspace menu to add or remove workspaces. The `slit' can be used to dock small applications, e.g. most of the bbtools can use the slit. toolbar --> the ubiquitous bar on the screen in every blackbox screen shot slit --> window which holds smaller windows just as the bbtools and window maker dock apps. It is only visible when it contains items.
