Auto, thanks for the reply. I've never used Linux, and by the time I discovered bb4win, there were already taskbars. I liked the idea of the toolbar, but I couldn't get used to it, so I quickly ditched it. That was about...a year and a half ago? A couple days ago it hit me that toolbar + Workspaces menu = a unique GUI, just like the Windows taskbar system is unique, and the Mac OS way (and the BeOS way, the command line way, etc...) is unique. More like the Mac GUI than anything. Anyways, hmmm, I 'oughta try the toolbar + workspaces menu with multiple workspaces--I had gone back to just one workspace...that's minimal ;) ... I do agree with NC-17 that it's nice to see more of the style in action...in the menu too.

BTW, I hide my sidebar when I want it out of the way. Choice is beautiful!

There is a difference between steamrolling and expressing excitement. Sidebar users may be excited about what they have been able to accomplish with BB tools. I notice that today there are 3 screenies with sb, 5 without. That's choice.

although, if you're putting up a new style, i would like to see what the toolbar looks like with it :) this is a screenies site people. like them or not, when there's a style - it's either to your liking or not... and i'm always happy to get a nice style, even if it was made by a sidebar user :P

what i find interesting, which no one has mentioned i think, is that people are using blackbox... but then put sidebars on to it. Theo mentioned the minimalism of memory, but i think it's more than that - a minimal interface, etc. so seeing people use blackbox for sidebars just kinda boggles my mind - what were they choosing blackbox for in the first place? anyway, i dont mind - im a very big supporter of use what you want to.

i dont really understand this discusion. i understand my bb4win minimalism as a memory and procesor usage minimalism no t as "what i have o the desktop" minimalism. Its everybody choice what they do and what they wont to do with their desktop...

It's all in the users preference. Sure the interfaces look nice, But I'm like auto I'm happy with the standard blackbox desktop. Guess I get that from being old hehe :p

Pitkon: I can't add comments either; I click submit and it just flips to only showing the sidebar, then doesn't proceed from there. Brian?

Hi again, friends! So good to c u again, Brian. Karl, the screenies function wasn't broken, just needed approval. I AM moderating, from time to time :) How do u think those newer screenies got up in the first place? :D

uploading works, but uploads always require approval and I don't think any of us are as actively moderating as we did in the past ;-)

Hey old friends, another old-timer hanging on here :) snkmchnb: Do you think it would be possible to get this site's screenshot posting function going again with Brian's help? (read: not sure if he'll be reading this himself so asking any other admins more broadly)
