Re: Plugins
Looking at all the patches I see there was a patch for v0.65 which apparently opened new windows under the moue pointer... are there any like this for the new 0.70beta2? I'm working on a dual monitor setup and it keep sopening my windows on the wrong side :p so a patch like this would be great...

Re: Plugins
Thanks for the help Ciprian. The version of bbpager I have is the latest one I could find - 0.3.1 I shall be checking out the monitoring tools you mentioned and if I have lots of spare time I may try and get a trash can to work :p but thats not a priority.

You may want to try gkrellm or various dockapps (from dockapps.org) for monitoring. These will load in the slit. Serch our website (blackboxwm.sf.net), I've added a page about the slit recently.

Blackbox itself only manages windows, doesn't care about file handling. It's not a full desktop environment in this respect. You'd have to decide on a combination of desktop environment and file manager to get the equivalent of a trash can. This will come in the form of a desktop icon, most likely. Next, if you want an easier-to-reach equivalent of that trashcan you'd have to see if there's either something you can load in the Blackbox slit (perhaps a dockapp), or if that desktop environment provides a panel or something. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?

But I'm having a hard time finding plugins for the linux version... does anyone know where to find these? I don't think there are any plugins for Blackbox in the sense you mean. bb4win and other Windows shell replacements are quite different from Blackbox. I remember bb4win developers mentioning that they only took a bit of code (the graphics library) from Blackbox when they forked. Perhaps if you tell us what kind of functionality you are trying to achieve we can suggest something. -- Ciprian Popovici pgpmU9hqvgnHb.pgp Description: PGP signature
