I think I got it. session.screen0.focusModel The default for this variable is SloppyFocus, and its valid values are <[SloppyFocus|ClickToFocus|AutoRaiseSloppyFocus]>. This variable specifies the model for focusing on windows. SloppyFocus puts the window pointed-to by the mouse cursor into focus, or makes it the current window, without raising the window. ClickToFocus puts the window clicked-on into focus and does not raise it. AutoRaiseSloppyFocus will automatically raise the window pointed-to by the mouse cursor after session.autoRaiseDelay milliseconds and put it into focus.

Hi Andy, The problem I had, and still am working on, is this: I see the bottom of a konsole window 'behind' my pine window. I want to pull that konsole to the front, to have that 'over' the pine window. So far I have found that in .blackboxrc I can set the focus mode to 'AutoRaiseSloppyFocus'. With that, I move the mouse over a window and it is raised (pops to the front) automatically. I like that better than the default "SloppyFocus", but I would like to know if there is something like "RaiseOnClick". That is how I have KDE set up, and that way works best for me. SloppyFocus only points the view to the window that the mouse is over, but does not raise it until you click the title-bar, and that is not always in sight. I hope this brings things across more clear...

Re: [newbie] About blackbox window manager
Thanks a lot for your help but I could configure my menus, finally. I just didn't saw that there was a "session.menuFile" entry in the ~/.blackboxrc file. Now, I can have my menu the way I want. But Paul still can't set the window raising as he want to do it (raising a window when he clicks anywhere on it). And I would also be interrested in knowing how to do it.

Hi all, I am toying about a bit with Blackbox. Some things puzzle me, though. Is there someone here that is a bit more proficient with blackbox? Thought I'd ask first, before throwing around a bunch of questions...
