Grab your Blackbox and Bsetroot man pages!

These are the blackbox and bsetroot man pages. Created Tue Jun 13 15:58:30 CEST 2000.

English

Please note: This is the manual page as it comes with the 0.61.1 distribution of Blackbox, with lots of minor improvements and corrections, many of which were contributed by David Lawrence Ramsey.

For the official Blackbox home, see blackbox.sourceforge.net. For the current development versions, see sourceforge.net/projects/blackboxwm. Note that the development versions also carry a newer manual page.

View these pages with less file.1.gz or man -l file.1.gz. Print them with man -Tps -l file.1.gz | lpr Or install them in /usr/local/man/man1/. Dutch version: Strip off the nl- prefix and install in /usr/local/man/nl/man1/. Enjoy!

Styles

I created also a couple of nice styles: you may download them here.

• Basic (screenshot) Last update: Mar 01, 2003 at 05:23:23 PM
  You also need xstarfish.png, a background that was created with xstarfish.
• Black (screenshot) Last update: Mar 01, 2003 at 05:23:23 PM
  You need also cool-dark-marble.jpg. I found that texture on nerd.nl.linux.org. Edit the file to point the rootCommand to the place you put the background texture. (On the screenshot you see the ROX-Filer with gtk theme SoulTrip)
• CoolOrange (screenshot) Last update: Mar 01, 2003 at 05:23:23 PM
  This style needs a font like Humanist Condensed. You may change it to use any font you like. No background picture needed.
• MinimalRed (screenshot) Last update: Mar 01, 2003 at 05:23:23 PM
  You need the "spacedust" background jpeg from visualparadox.com.
• BlueStep (screenshot) Last update: Mar 01, 2003 at 05:23:23 PM
  You may want to have also stars.png. Install the stars.png somewhere (e.g. ~/.blackbox/backgrounds/) and change the rootCommand: resource to use the tiled background star field.
• XOS2 (screenshot) Last update: Mar 01, 2003 at 05:23:23 PM
  Slightly resembles MacOS X look. Combines very well with one of the appropriate GTK+ themes.
• SimpleElegance (screenshot) Last update: Mar 01, 2003 at 05:23:23 PM
  This style uses no pixmaps in X's memory, so it is very suitable on low memory machines. Please note: There's another theme with the name Simple Elegance on bb.themes.org so please watch out for colliding file names.
