Foreword
You will find on this page several (humble) contributions to Blackbox.
Note: this page relates to Blackbox version 6.x; version 7 will be released soon (or is already released) and content of this page might be out of date. I will update it as soon as I have time (sory!).
What is Blackbox ?
Blackbox is yet another addition to the list of window managers for X Window System. 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, nor the most Featureful, nor the most Adorned for modeling the Widely acclaimed NeXT interface. It is just meant to be fast.(Extracted from man page of Blackbox)
Its authors are Brad Hughes, Jeff Raven and Sean 'Shaleh' Perry, plus contributions and patches merged from many individuals around the world.
More information about Blackbox on its official web site, where you will find sources, information and related links.
