BlackBox for Windows

how to[basics][menu][styles][core bro@ms]

Blackbox for Windows is based stylistically on the Blackbox window manager for the X Window System by Brad Hughes, however it does not use the same codebase except for the gradient rendering code

The foundation of Blackbox for Windows is full cross-platform support

a theme (or style as it is called in *nix) can be taken directly from *nix and used in Windows with little or no difference in appearance
this means - unlike most other shells - themes don't have to be custom created for the shell
hundreds upon hundreds of styles are at themes.freshmeat.net (login required) and at box-look
strong portability of Fluxbox & Blackbox (for *nix) user configuration files - fully recreating the *nix interface on Windows

From the time the first line of code was written, Blackbox has evolved around one premise

minimalism
it's not meant to be Eye Candy (even though it is fairly simple to make it look really cool!)
nor is it meant to be the most fully featured shell out there
it is just meant to be fast
