Pitkon 2020-02-03 02:59 Cheers, Brian! Great work!

Pitkon 2014-01-30 22:21 So happy to see this site up again! We have created a new forum/news/uploads/downloads site link You are all welcome! |
Pitkon 2012-10-31 08:54 That i not by me, Raj, it is by a guy who tried my theme and needed some info. |
Pitkon 2012-10-28 03:53 h: Download Blackbox XZ (see link to the left) and install it as shell... Or, e-mail me pitkon@otenet.gr for more info |
Pitkon 2012-10-28 03:34 raj: Can you please point me to the relative screenshot? |
Pitkon 2012-10-25 02:16 My bbleanskin doesn't overlap the titlebar, Raj :) Why do you say this? |
Pitkon 2012-09-18 08:38 Update on Windows 8 and Blackbox compatibility: everything seems to work just fine, at least as far as XZero450s buils is concerned link |
Pitkon 2012-09-18 06:44 OK, Blackbox XZ does work, but there are plugin compatibility issues. |
Pitkon 2012-09-18 01:14 Ive geard that it does, waiting for confirmation |
Pitkon 2012-05-06 00:48 There is. Was implemented a looong time ago (I am afraid you have to look in lostinthebox for it, do not have a link handy, but it shows the correct time only when you right click for a new menu. The clock does not refresh itself when the menu stays on top :( |
Pitkon 2012-05-04 01:25 1) BB works perfectly well on 7
2) Development is continuing, a new build was out in January, full of new goodies.
3) You can have as many transparencies as you like.
Any other reason? :D |
Pitkon 2012-04-26 07:02 purple, maybe it's time for a comeback? |
Pitkon 2012-04-24 09:46 Hi, purple! Long time no see. Hope you are fine. Are you still styling? |
Pitkon 2012-04-23 00:14 That is great news, Will! Please do! |
Pitkon 2012-04-02 04:34 You are in the right place. It's a super market of screenshots :D |
Pitkon 2012-04-01 02:17 @ confused: Huh? Where do you think you are? What are you looking for? :D |
Pitkon 2012-03-29 00:22 Hey, Alex, welcome back! |
Pitkon 2012-03-24 08:57 You are very welcome, Mat |
Pitkon 2012-03-24 01:08 @ doctorfrog: Comments do work, make sure you do not use any apostrophes in your text. Sorry... |
Pitkon 2012-02-28 01:49 @ qwilk: Can't say I particularly like it, but it is another option... |
Pitkon 2012-02-25 00:26 Can't post URLs? This is a first... |
Pitkon 2012-02-08 06:48 Glad you are glad, residentgrey! What flavor are you using with your 7? |
Pitkon 2012-01-18 07:51 Oh, and I wasn’t the one who created Blackbox. Thank goodness there are developers to whom we owe a lot. |
Pitkon 2012-01-18 07:49 Yes, this is a resolution issue. As I note in my comments, my desktop configurations are for resolutions of 1920X1080 or higher. Open bbinterface.rc with a text editor like Notepad and look for the line @BBInterface Control SetWindowProperty SystemFrame X 1830 Change 1830 to 1200, save and restart. The frame will appear on the right side of your screen. Click on the bottom of it (under AUDIO) and drag it wherever you want to place it. |
Pitkon 2012-01-15 03:19 @ Novy: All my themes are downloadable from link Thanks for asking! |
Pitkon 2012-01-14 04:41 Hey, NC-17, how good to see you again! |
Pitkon 2011-12-31 23:02 Happy New Year, everyone! |
Pitkon 2011-12-24 23:49 Merry Xmas, everyone! |
Pitkon 2011-12-09 00:01 Open message to tresni: please check your inbox as well, it is been quite some time now :) |
Pitkon 2011-12-08 23:59 You are very welcome, the-r-. Check your inbox :) |
Pitkon 2011-12-08 00:35 @the-r- Needed to talk to you about something, but your yahoo addy bounced. Do you have some other account? |
Pitkon 2011-12-08 00:34 @the-r-
Good work! Posted the news here and on bb4win and I am going to try it in a bbi script :)) |
Pitkon 2011-12-08 00:32 @qwilk: Yes, that is what a menu grip should look like, totally configurable like the rest of BB elements (appearance etc.), But something else drew my attention: did I see 8-color gradients in there? |
Pitkon 2011-12-06 04:27 What is your problem with it? What BB build are you using? |
Pitkon 2011-12-03 08:37 Wow, Will! Impressive! |
Pitkon 2011-11-26 11:13 Looks great, cthu1hu! |
Pitkon 2011-11-25 07:02 tresni and snk are still handling the technical stuff :) |
Pitkon 2011-11-25 06:50 Got it, Karl; still need access for that :( |
Pitkon 2011-11-24 10:55 I am not sure if technically, with all our software problems, we can do that... I hope tresni or snk will know for sure... |
Pitkon 2011-11-24 07:05 Yes, but you still have not told me what is wrong with this one... :D |
Pitkon 2011-11-23 22:24 What is wrong with this one? Easy to read and calms frayed nerves... :D |
Pitkon 2011-11-16 23:36 @meanmechanics: Sorry, just read about bbi (am I blind or something?) Add bbi to your plugins.rc and than make the file read-only :) |
Pitkon 2011-11-16 23:33 @ xo0m: Good idea! |
Pitkon 2011-11-16 23:33 Try BBClean-XZ or Xoblite RC-3 or RC-4 Nightly build. They both support split graphics and other goodies. For links, take a look at the Latest News column... |
Pitkon 2011-10-22 08:35 That should be bbleanskinmod |
Pitkon 2011-10-22 08:35 bbleanmod should |
Pitkon 2011-10-22 01:12 @tzils: Not as far as I know :( |
Pitkon 2011-10-05 23:23 bg: I think you should put that in the forums (lostinthebox) where qwilk is sure to notice and answer... |
Pitkon 2011-10-01 10:06 @zen: So true, if I judge by the daily (rather impressive) traffic over at bb4win... |
Pitkon 2011-09-29 23:21 No, mean, you are not. News will be posted soon :) |
Pitkon 2011-09-23 07:17 Hey, mini-man, glad to see you again, too :) |
Pitkon 2011-09-19 23:59 Heym stanna, welcome back! How are you? |
Pitkon 2011-09-01 00:11 Lol, Vrkalak, you are sooo right :) |
Pitkon 2011-08-31 06:17 Thanks so much, my friend! :) |
Pitkon 2011-08-31 03:29 @meanmechanics: You can say that again... lol |
Pitkon 2011-08-31 01:02 maaneeack, if you email the shot to me, I will try to post it on your behalf :) |
Pitkon 2011-08-28 09:46 Good! For you and for Blackbox :D |
Pitkon 2011-08-28 00:35 You mean it works now? |
Pitkon 2011-08-27 06:40 Good, Id like to know how it works... BTW, have you tried BBLeanMod? |
Pitkon 2011-08-26 02:20 Hey, snk, welcome back! I e-mailed you two or three times, but you never replied! Please write - and help over at lost in the box, if you can... :)
tzils: You are very welcome :) |
Pitkon 2011-08-25 02:28 tzils: Sorry, there is no such plugins, but you can use third party programs that skin parts of windows that bbleanskin doesnt touch without altering your bbleanskin configuration. The most popular (and free) such prog is YZ Toolbar. There are plenty of skins for it on the web... |
Pitkon 2011-08-24 00:55 maaneeack: Are you using Win 7? |
Pitkon 2011-08-23 04:29 Great to hear you are back in action, maaneeack. And do as cthu1hu says, dont use apostrophes... |
Pitkon 2011-08-22 01:26 Hey, maaneeack, so good to see you again after such a long time! How are you, my friend? |
Pitkon 2011-08-20 03:31 Hey to you, sd :) |
Pitkon 2011-08-15 03:13 Hi, Alex. Nice to see you here, too :D |
Pitkon 2011-07-10 07:58 Lol, meanmechanics... It happens :) |
Pitkon 2011-04-19 01:27 OK, Karl, thank you :) |
Pitkon 2011-04-07 08:02 Qwilk: pls post a reliable e-mail addy here or write me at pitkon@otenet.gr |
Pitkon 2011-03-30 09:12 clu1thu, snk or whoever other admin reads this: I lost all mail and passwords after a puter crash. Please contact me at pitkon@otenet.gr Thanks, guys! |
Pitkon 2008-12-25 09:23 Merry Xmas, everyone. Peace and health |
Pitkon 2008-05-19 09:41 Seconds65: Glad you found something you liked - and thanx a lot for the kind words... |
Pitkon 2008-05-17 01:35 Sexonds65: I have created over 20 sidebars, maybe one will be to your liking. Take a look at www.pitkon.deviantart.com |
Pitkon 2008-01-01 09:48 Happy New Year!!! |
Pitkon 2007-11-30 02:25 ) am all for creativity, so I'm all for BBClean NEB/New Xob/BB2. The more, the merrier. It's paradise for the style authors among us - though the purists won't feel at home, I'm afraid... |
Pitkon 2007-06-06 09:40 Still having problems... Tres'ni, or Zen, or snk, pls e-mail me... |
Pitkon 2007-06-04 00:30 Tres'ni, or zen, or snk, pls e-mail me pitkon@altecnet.gr I am locked out of lostinthebox and I can't get in to read tres'ni's reply to my pm or do anything else, for that matter. My password doesn't work, not even when I change it... Thanx, guys... |
Pitkon 2006-12-15 01:21 Arthur: Shadows were there even before 1,16z, with earlier mods :) Just for the record... |
Pitkon 2006-12-07 11:01 Arthur: I can e-mail you the latest build, if you want me to |
Pitkon 2006-07-28 05:43 VERY impressive, Del... |
Pitkon 2006-07-26 09:01 free world: Yes, I know... It's a pity no one is doing anything with Israel... |
Pitkon 2006-07-20 02:46 Shoot, Karma - tho Forums would be the place to look around for questions already answered... :) |
Pitkon 2006-07-11 02:44 Thanx, Jimmy. I am referring to the help Italy got from the referees... lol. I got to admit I admired the way they played against Germany. Now, THAT was a great game... :) |
Pitkon 2006-07-10 21:54 Congrats, Jimmy, tho I don't really think Italy was the best team and there are questions about the way they made the semi-finals. Ah, well, it's only a game. And Tres'ni is an American, not a French, He was referring to the US vs Italy match... :) As for us, we are the European champions and we didn't even compete in this World Championship... lol |
Pitkon 2006-06-14 08:15 Yeah, flux 1.0 is out with lotsa goodies... Rounded corners... Pixmaps... Let's eat our hearts out... For now :) |
Pitkon 2006-06-09 23:07 That was what had me worried from the beginning... I ain't switching till I make sure Vista is Blackbox-friendly - or the other way around... |
Pitkon 2006-06-09 01:12 All I'm interested in is whether Vista will work flawlessly with Blackbox... |
Pitkon 2006-02-22 15:58 It IS possible, Gary, but we gotta call snk, right nice and easy... HEY, SNAAAAAAAAAAAAACK! |
Pitkon 2006-02-18 09:39 qwilk, I thing u should upload it to ur plugins page... :) |
Pitkon 2006-02-13 18:33 LMAO, crow... |
Pitkon 2006-02-13 01:40 It;s ur kind nature, Gary... :D |
Pitkon 2006-02-12 08:14 Yes, there seems to be some probs there... |
Pitkon 2006-02-12 06:53 Try one of these, Minexal
link |
Pitkon 2006-02-10 09:50 U r absolutely right, crow, but I figured Peter needed some hints on what each element does... |
Pitkon 2006-02-10 01:34 Peter: it is included in BBLean's docs - at least most of it... |
Pitkon 2006-02-09 04:03 cthu1hu: Yeah, I should do that, only I don't always have the time... :( |
Pitkon 2006-02-08 02:17 Cthu1hu, I have already uploaded the news on bb4win.org... :D |
Pitkon 2006-02-06 17:52 Lol... It happens, tho it's very rare - I mean the way u spell ur handle... |
Pitkon 2006-02-06 16:06 cthu1hu: You mean u r not him? |
Pitkon 2006-02-03 07:25 balkaster: Being an LS user since 1998, I'd have to say wharfs and docks are more or less the same. :) |
Pitkon 2006-02-01 08:11 Oops, gave the link to an oldest dock. The newest is here link |
Pitkon 2006-02-01 07:50 balkaster: The wharf is exactly that - a launcher dock that can nest anything, including a taskbar, if need be. Steve Jobbs wileth so... lol. Ask the NeXT/Litestep people... :D |
Pitkon 2006-02-01 06:05 MP: If it is to ur liking, u can use my dock/sidebar combo
link |
Pitkon 2006-01-31 15:31 It can use GDI+ format grafix, cthu1hu, like png, jpg, giff, tiff, the works... :) Plus, there is a scaling option with memory... Dld and read the readme... |
Pitkon 2006-01-31 13:15 Lotsa typos... jog = jpg, suppoer= support... lol |
Pitkon 2006-01-31 13:14 OK, ysuke added jog, tiff etc. suppoer to bbi. Next step: Spherical objects... Get it from link |
Pitkon 2006-01-31 09:35 OK, tonight's the night, me thinks... It's an enhancement on an old plugin, step one of two steps that will make one of our dreams come true... Will be back later as soon as it's uploaded with the link... |
Pitkon 2006-01-27 10:56 Merlyn: Create a switch button to show/hide the menu |
Pitkon 2006-01-24 12:29 Lmao, qwilk... |
Pitkon 2006-01-20 02:35 Lmao, Gary... |
Pitkon 2006-01-19 15:58 Lmao... Secret thing needed some fixin... |
Pitkon 2006-01-19 13:42 :D |
Pitkon 2006-01-19 10:57 U mean u still remamber what he said at the end of this loooooooong Malaysian thread? I'm impressed... Brynne must have done u lots of good :D |
Pitkon 2006-01-19 10:27 Rev: Who r u talking to? :D |
Pitkon 2006-01-19 10:00 No, but I've seen some feature films and photos that a friend of mine snapped while there. Impressive landscapes... |
Pitkon 2006-01-19 09:19 THEY r sad... |
Pitkon 2006-01-19 08:41 Why? Malaysia is such a beautiful country... |
Pitkon 2006-01-19 08:15 I see - I have many friends from Malaysia on deviantart... |
Pitkon 2006-01-19 07:26 And where are u, GMT +8? :) |
Pitkon 2006-01-19 06:25 Lol... No, u r not off target. Greece here :) |
Pitkon 2006-01-19 05:58 I'm GMT +2 lol |
Pitkon 2006-01-19 02:56 Lol. Rev... U've said it all... :D |
Pitkon 2006-01-19 02:53 I approved all ur styles, Totmacher09... Sorry, different time zone... |
Pitkon 2006-01-18 01:24 No, it's not, Mal. U know IT, but u don't know THIS... This is getting ridiculous... lol |
Pitkon 2006-01-17 14:09 Hey, guys, guys, who said anything about a BBLean new build? I was referring to something else, that's all. My lips are sealed, but u will all love it :) |
Pitkon 2006-01-17 09:57 2??? I thought it was 3! Thanc, Gary... :D |
Pitkon 2006-01-17 09:04 I have this feeling... Something very good is going to happen soon... |
Pitkon 2006-01-16 16:51 U have to restart... Oh, u got it... lol |
Pitkon 2006-01-16 11:42 And some more features to bbleanbar |
Pitkon 2006-01-16 10:53 The Japanese mod adds height and width to the volume on the main menu... |
Pitkon 2006-01-13 06:35 Hey, did u steal my bbi? :D |
Pitkon 2006-01-09 10:54 Spamming strikes again... |
Pitkon 2006-01-08 04:19 U don't have to click on a thunbnail to dld a style; clicking on the cross symbol on the left of the author's name (if there is a cross) is enough... |
Pitkon 2006-01-07 10:19 Beautiful work, qwilk... (I checked the name twice...) |
Pitkon 2006-01-05 08:18 It doesn't, Gary. I'm posting the style here and the zip on devart :) |
Pitkon 2006-01-05 02:52 Excellent choice of wallpaper, circa1974! Already wrote the artist, asking their permission to use/include it in zip file and will upload the style here... |
Pitkon 2006-01-01 10:45 Have a great time, snack! Guest: BBLean may take some time, especially if it includes bitmaps and other novelties... Just wishful thinking... |
Pitkon 2006-01-01 05:08 Happy New Year, everyone! |
Pitkon 2005-12-25 01:32 Merry Xmas to u all! |
Pitkon 2005-12-24 01:45 I'm not displaying my hand, zen... :D |
Pitkon 2005-12-22 12:24 Point open to discussion... :D |
Pitkon 2005-12-22 08:22 How's that easier? It will take M4u at least 5 mins to do that... :D |
Pitkon 2005-12-21 07:29 Sure, M4u... Open menu.rc with a text editor and go to this line:
[begin] (bbLean 1.16)
Change bbLean 1.16 with whatever u want (keep the parentheses) and save. That's it. Next time u right click, a new menu title will come up :) |
Pitkon 2005-12-21 00:49 That's a neat find, circa1974. BBLean includes something similar (with Blackbox color jargon, which is even neatier) with its docs, but this is a really beautiful showcase. I, for one, am sure will use it. Thank u! |
Pitkon 2005-12-09 12:04 And code a new shell on the way... :D |
Pitkon 2005-12-09 08:21 Infy: U can change bbmuse's font if u change Blackbox' font as well. Best u xan do for the time being... |
Pitkon 2005-12-09 06:42 Hey, Gilly, so good to see u here! Hoping to see some styles of urs on boxshots :) Welcome aboard! |
Pitkon 2005-12-08 16:26 Lol... U r quite right, Mr. Anderson... :D |
Pitkon 2005-12-08 16:06 The matrix theme? |
Pitkon 2005-12-08 14:43 Besides, the oracle needs a sacrifice... |
Pitkon 2005-12-02 00:43 Yeah, until we get real pixmaps... :D |
Pitkon 2005-11-28 15:55 Lol... Yes, I realize that now... Thought u were talking about the actual 3dcc file... :D |
Pitkon 2005-11-28 10:53 caspercat:
Better still, copy/paste their content in the relative style file at the end, under
this heading:
! -- start 3dcc -- |
Pitkon 2005-11-04 07:58 Yeah, works for me too now :) |
Pitkon 2005-11-04 01:59 Errr... The link doesn't work for me, qwilk... |
Pitkon 2005-10-31 09:24 I love tricks... :D |
Pitkon 2005-10-27 05:23 :D |
Pitkon 2005-10-27 01:18 I am running a gamma version of the shell auto is running :rofl: |
Pitkon 2005-10-26 12:20 I haven't heard of Owl for quite a long time... :( |
Pitkon 2005-10-21 00:11 popupkila: I have permission to use this wall for a Blackbox style, but u can get it from link |
Pitkon 2005-10-12 07:57 Zen: Really cool desktop... |
Pitkon 2005-10-08 23:39 Hi, Fatman! Missed u :) |
Pitkon 2005-10-07 08:14 BTW, the Theme Depot link is broken... |
Pitkon 2005-10-01 03:57 Only thing missing in xob 2, imho, is the ability to use an independent systembar... Sorry, Karl, but some of us are weird... :D |
Pitkon 2005-09-30 12:33 U r very welcome, Karl - and I mean every word :) |
Pitkon 2005-09-30 07:08 I LOVE xob 2 - commented thus many times on various sites, I even use it quite often. I'm ashamed to say I can't permanently switch cause I use bbstylemaker too much... But xob IS full of unique and advanced options, no doubt about that... |
Pitkon 2005-09-30 03:51 Knowing gris, I'd say he has something up his sleeve... But that's imho... |
Pitkon 2005-09-29 01:32 Yeah, I know they r separate... It's just that they fell together... |
Pitkon 2005-09-28 17:08 Nothing in life is permanent, but this thing with the forums and bb4win.org is just too much... |
Pitkon 2005-09-25 00:58 Xenoguy: It's easy if u use bbstylemaker. If not, edit styles in notepad and use find a replace to change the existing fonts. U can also use bbnote or any other text editor... |
Pitkon 2005-09-24 11:38 NC-17: Zip file sent... |
Pitkon 2005-09-23 07:21 NC-17: I think I have a full copy of the styles, where do u want me to send it? |
Pitkon 2005-09-21 11:47 snk: Actually, she is a lady... :D |
Pitkon 2005-09-20 06:26 Hi, everyone! Isn't it great to be together again? |
Pitkon 2005-04-29 15:07 RedElite: It's the size of the swap file |
Pitkon 2005-04-11 12:34 Arthur, I didn't see any submissions by u either. What was the title of the submission? |
Pitkon 2005-04-07 09:39 TenPlus1: bbcalendar... |
Pitkon 2005-04-05 10:43 Iconbox doesn't work for me... I get a window class error message... I run BBLean 1.13b6 under Windows XP Pro on a 64 bit Athlon... Never had probs with plugins before... |
Pitkon 2005-03-29 09:04 For a simpler and lighter resizer app, I recommend Pixresizer: link |
Pitkon 2005-02-17 08:47 BBLeanskin 1.13b5 and b6 have slimmer glyphs :) |
Pitkon 2005-01-22 05:57 Lol... I have a whole collection of color pickers, old apps and new apps... But I think bbstylemaker put an end to those - at least as far as style making is concerned... |
Pitkon 2004-11-16 08:20 Hey, I am Pitkon - and I never posted the comment below... Lol... Yeah, I know, u typed my habdle, zen.... Happens all the time... I'm having some probs with gmail addies. Do u have another one? Or e-mail me so I can reply, preferably using a non-gmail addy... |
pitkon 2004-11-16 06:34 so far the ones i got from the bb4win package are doing nicely.. which version is it you have? email it to me at thewayofzen at gmail.com just for fun :) |
Pitkon 2004-11-16 03:22 zen: This is a common fault of all newest bsetroot releases - that's why I use bsetroot/bsetbg 2003 versions. I can send u mine if u want me to, they work flawlessly... |
Pitkon 2004-11-11 20:03 qwilk: All I get is a blank screen... |
Pitkon 2004-10-23 11:26 me adores it :) |
Pitkon 2004-08-12 19:24 Ah, at least someone broke the silence... Yeah, it WAS getting creepy... :D |
Pitkon 2004-07-20 04:26 To err is Pitkon... I approved the qv item... Sorry, guys :( |
Pitkon 2004-07-19 07:06 Cypher: There are THOUSANDS of "inside" walls. The system just can't look for "within the inside". Would surely find it if u knew who did the wall... |
Pitkon 2004-07-16 06:02 Cypher, I am a devart subcriber. What's the title of the wall? |
Pitkon 2004-07-02 08:29 Of course, u can create a separator by inserting a _____ line in menu.rc... |
Pitkon 2004-06-16 07:36 I second that. Excellent calendar, Theo... |
Pitkon 2004-06-09 02:40 Huh? Who did that? Lol |
pitkon AT mland DOT 2004-06-08 18:37 Hey Pitkon! |
Pitkon 2004-03-25 13:16 zerosleep: u can get slack at just1n@sdf.lonestar.org |
Pitkon 2004-03-18 03:38 zerosleep: bbstyle is by NC-17 and I am quoting from his instructions:
In order to have separate wallpapers on each workspace you must add some settings either to the bbstyle.rc file or to a specific style file. This lets you have different wallpaper settings for different styles. If the settings are not found in the current style file, it will use those in the .rc file, if any. For example:
bbstyle.workspace1.rootCommand: bsetroot -solid black
bbstyle.workspace2.rootCommand: bsetroot -mod 3 3 -fg #666666 -bg #333333
bbstyle.workspace3.rootCommand: bsetroot -gradient verticalinterlaced -from rgb:00/00/00 -to rgb:99/99/99
bbstyle.workspace4.rootCommand: bsetbg -full backgrounds\mypicture.png
Note these settings have to be sequential, without any gaps, from workspace1 to workspaceX, otherwise BBStyle will only use the settings up to the first gap. If no rootCommand is set for a particular workspace, the default style rootCommand is used. |
Pitkon 2004-03-18 02:49 zerosleep: bbstyle can do this... :) |
Pitkon 2004-03-17 12:51 zerpsleep: I have a repository of about 4,000 styles... So, of course I have simple box... lol.
It's by Mina Naguib : link |
Pitkon 2004-03-13 04:19 Yeah, Inauro, u do great styles... :) |
Pitkon 2004-03-02 08:06 Yeah, auto, BBleanskin skins just about everything without any problem... |
Pitkon 2004-02-24 13:39 Hey, Jesterace, nice to see u, man!!!! |
Pitkon 2004-02-17 09:48 Merde! Je suis unforgivable... U meant u couchait up... :) |
Pitkon 2004-02-16 16:43 Necroboi: I didn;t mean screenie's language but freeb0rn's... F***** up? lol |
Pitkon 2004-02-16 14:24 Lol, freeborn... I don't know about the screenie, but the language... tsk... tsk :) |
Pitkon 2004-02-15 07:02 Lock is link in bbsm 1.1... |
Pitkon 2004-02-14 19:38 cthu1hu: use right click to store, X to switch colors (left-right), lock to make colors lighter or darker. |
Pitkon 2004-02-12 19:26 I will gladly make it for u, b0m... Send it over... :) |
Pitkon 2004-02-06 18:03 chix0r: No complaints here, I really loved using ur Say Goodbye... Thanx for the permission :) |
Pitkon 2004-01-22 09:41 freeb0rn: How do u like ur espresso? I hear the next release of multiamp will include a coffee maker... :) |
Pitkon 2004-01-22 03:31 I think the only thing missing from multiamp is the ability to fit in the slit... |
Pitkon 2004-01-14 01:26 Wildtech: I have run bb4w, bblc/bblean, and xoblite for about 20 months now, mostly under XP Pro. They all work(ed) like a dream :) |
Pitkon 2004-01-14 01:25 Geth: I've been running bbicons under BBLean 1.1 (test builds and official release) for months now. No problems whatsoever. |
Pitkon 2004-01-13 09:44 sicle9: He solved it... lol |
Pitkon 2004-01-13 08:10 But he talks about a "set", Fatman... |
Pitkon 2004-01-13 02:32 ToastSYN: Background set? For what? |
Pitkon 2004-01-04 04:53 Looks promising, Tres'ni; I'd love to see more. And maybe I was prepared for a general overhaul... :) |
Pitkon 2004-01-03 06:27 Hey, happy new year, freeb0rn! Kali xronia! |
Pitkon 2003-12-31 10:31 It's just about 4 hrs before midnight over here, so, before I go out and party, HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE! |
Pitkon 2003-12-30 06:51 SPYDR: Thanx! The memory lag can't be Blackbox' fault, it's one of the lightest shells around. |
Pitkon 2003-12-30 05:04 SPYDR: I have tried over 20 different shells during the last 5 years, from Litestep to Icesphere to Serenade to u name it. Blackbox is the most stable shell I've tried, but I think only when running under XP. |
Pitkon 2003-12-25 08:59 Have a great Xmas, everyone! |
Pitkon 2003-12-24 08:53 Thanx, necroboi, have a great time! |
Pitkon 2003-12-19 11:27 Thanks, NC-17, I was about to call my shrink... lol |
Pitkon 2003-12-19 10:44 snkmchnb: Why do i need that? |
Pitkon 2003-12-16 03:42 Hydro: Use toolbar.fontheight and toolbar.fontweight for a bigger toolber and menu.title.fontheight/weight and menu.frame.fontheight/weight for a bigger menu. There are other tricks, like using longer item names etc. |
Pitkon 2003-12-16 03:37 Windowns: I have about 15,000 wp on my hard disks, collected during the last 6 years. I really can't remember where I got them all. Maybe, if u r interested in some of those that appear on the screenshots, I can provide a link for them... But not too many, I'm afraid - otherwise I'd already include the link in the wallpaper field. |
Pitkon 2003-12-15 10:04 Hey, guys, can u send me some snow over? |
Pitkon 2003-12-15 09:20 Haven't seen snow the last... i don't know how many years... Sigh... |
Pitkon 2003-12-11 12:36 NC-17:On the other hand, that's good, right? I mean I noticed there are 470 members now... The community is growing... :) |
Pitkon 2003-12-11 11:50 Hey, I just tried to visit bb4win.org and I was informed the account has been suspended. What's going on? |
Pitkon 2003-12-10 05:54 AlmostX: Oh, sorry, AlmostX. However, the link is incomprehensible to me. Why don't u upload the style here or at ur site? And did u get my e-mail? |
Pitkon 2003-12-10 03:51 AlmostX: I must be thick... It's in Japanese... |
Pitkon 2003-12-06 06:37 I use bblean. No such probs here, Jeff |
Pitkon 2003-12-03 08:04 Dear Admins, it?s been over 6 hrs since I submitted my first screenie? Now, if u need a morning (or evening, depends on the side of the globe) sub-sub-sub-admin, jack of all trades, cleaning boy with a mind to/for incoming screenies, maybe I should apply for the job? :) |
Pitkon 2003-12-03 02:05 mqn: sMs is using X-setup. U can get it from link, but don't expect too much. U can probably do better with Resource Hacker, but with greater risk... So, u'd better start with X-Setup... :) |
Pitkon 2003-12-02 16:12 Jeff: The screen (and the plugin) are from Sharpe shell. Most players, however, do display time passed in a graphic or non-graphic (time) way... |
Pitkon 2003-12-01 12:07 Tres'ni: true, but the old Openbox was - and there r still some diehards... |
Pitkon 2003-12-01 03:43 Dear Admins: You forgot to add Openbox in the list of *nix window managers... |
Pitkon 2003-11-30 11:32 I hope the admins will agree, owl... I, for one, didn't particularly like that naked BBLean link over there... |
Pitkon 2003-11-30 09:51 Why not use it, owl? Tack bra! |
Pitkon 2003-11-30 09:25 Lol, owl |
Pitkon 2003-11-30 03:34 I think el'critic meant to write South American |
Pitkon 2003-11-29 04:06 Tres'ni" Thanx for all ur efforts! I have changed 3 or 4 templates already, but I think the problem lies with bbnote, the application I use for authoring styles. I gave up on Whitebox, since with bbnote is much more easier checking styles on the way... Thanx again... |
Pitkon 2003-11-28 08:40 Jesterace: The problem was that style.name was Winter'sBreath. Had to get rid of the ' . I mean, really! Can't u guys do anything about all this? |
Pitkon 2003-11-28 07:34 Jesterace: OK, got that. Now, about that instertation problem? |
Pitkon 2003-11-28 07:04 Jesterace: When u say "if anyone has any styles of mine that are missing", do u mean styles that u uploaded here or styles of urs that were submitted to any sites? Plus, today I get a insertation problem warning when I try to upload a style file... |
Pitkon 2003-11-27 13:37 Ok, necroboi, I will avoid spaces from now on... And see how it goes |
Pitkon 2003-11-27 11:56 U r absolutely right, necroboi... Hadn't noticed before... Of course, I don't download my styles... lol. But, again, I used the same template each time.... Didn't change anything except for titles and things in the style. section... Sigh |
Pitkon 2003-11-27 11:28 Dear Admins, I submitted something like 10 style files w/o any probs and I used the same template for the two last ones. What gives here? |
Pitkon 2003-11-27 11:05 necroboi: thanx for telling me, but how can it be? I use the same template. Style.author, style.date etc. etc. Didn't change a thing! |
Pitkon 2003-11-27 10:48 maaneeack: fix0r? (scratches head) |
Pitkon 2003-11-25 07:48 Tres'ni: Oops, my bad... The tooltips were bbsystembarex's... Lol |
Pitkon 2003-11-25 01:18 Jesterace: Not at all. After all, 666 is the number of the feast... lol |
Pitkon 2003-11-25 01:17 Tres'ni: I get tooltips, but only when the shelf is at the top left corner of the screen |
Pitkon 2003-11-24 11:48 Jesterace: Glad u r back... :) |
Pitkon 2003-11-24 07:05 Well, I mean screenshot. I submitted a new one two hrs ago, it's not up there yet... Think I saw the sign: "BE BACK LATER - ADMINS"... Lol |
Pitkon 2003-11-24 07:02 If u look at my screenshots, I have three shelves open at different points. They all work... Should I be suspicious? Lol |
Pitkon 2003-11-24 01:39 c_bass: I work with 3 bbshelves at the time under BBLean, no probs. But are u sure the syntax u use in bbshelf.rc is correct? |
Pitkon 2003-11-23 13:31 Tres'ni: OK, I stand corrected. |
Pitkon 2003-11-23 04:06 Tres'ni: Thanx for including BBLean, tho I doubt if anyone uses BBLC anymore... |
Pitkon 2003-11-22 12:00 U are right, Tres'ni alpha transparency is applied quite differently to different shells - BBLean doesn't even need bbtrans, since the transparency ability is inherent. As for BBLC, now THAT was the ligher shell, but is more or less redundant, replaced by BBLean... Once again, grischka should be the one to clear up some things, since BBLean is his baby... |
Pitkon 2003-11-22 08:20 Jesterace: Tho grischka should answer this, to the best of my knowledge bblean is different, too. No things removed - rather added, I'd say. Some different commands, more options (the ability to move things from menu to explorer and vice versa, for instance) etc. etc. |
Pitkon 2003-11-22 05:12 Inauro: I fully agree with u... It's the best clone, at least for me... And the features are something else... Plus, I love the fact that pinned popups ...oops, this is not litestep...lol... I mean menus, are NOT on top of other applications... |
Pitkon 2003-11-22 04:55 Tres'ni and Jesterace: It's high time u included BBLean along bb4w, xoblite, and bluebox in shell used... |
Pitkon 2003-11-21 02:12 El'Critic: Inauro is right, bbpager has additional features, mailnly colorwise (if not, it inherits window.label characteristics, something we don't always want it to do, do we? As for borders and stuff, one way is to use Bevel2. Another way is to increase border width. |
Pitkon 2003-11-20 02:20 A3K: Click on a screenshot with the sword sign and on the next screen go to style and click on the blue title. |
Pitkon 2003-11-19 06:41 Jesterace: Since u didn't include the style file to Snowy Evening, I was thinking to resubmit. Can u clear the old screenie keeping the comments for the new submission? |
Pitkon 2003-11-19 06:38 Jesterace: Yeah, problem solved... thx!
ServiceGamer: Jesterace is right, use latest build and right click to select vertical |
Pitkon 2003-11-18 12:29 Jesterace: Oh, I see... OK, I will change that. I will send u Snowy Evening to include in one of my screenies... I don't dare to submit it for the third time... Lol. Thanx for everything... |
Pitkon 2003-11-18 10:49 Tres'ni: Which one? Did the latest work (hasn't seen the screenie of "Snowy Evening" come up yet); and it's Pitkon, not Pikton... lol |
Pitkon 2003-11-18 10:26 Thanx Jesterace, Owl... Saw ur post after I submitted my new style using MultiBrowser... |
Pitkon 2003-11-18 08:37 Jesterace: No, I haven't, but many styles of mine WERE uploaded to box.crackmonkey.us in the past. I'm willing to try a different browser, then. Can u suggest one that really does the work? |
Pitkon 2003-11-18 05:20 Inauro: I have voiced the same idea in the past, but they told me it's too much. And I didnt forget to upload the style file. This has happened at least 4 times to me... |
Pitkon 2003-11-18 01:54 Tres'ni: I can't understand why. Sometime the system uploads my style files, sometimes it doesn't. It has happened in the past. Is there another way to send it? I mean if I e-mail it to u or another admin, can u include in in the screenshot data? |
Pitkon 2003-11-17 13:43 ServiceGamer: It also depends on the clone u r using - bb4w, xoblite, bblean, bluebox... |
Pitkon 2003-11-17 13:36 There is also the original *nix way of doing things, fontwise, e.g. *font: -*-adventure subtitles-medium-r-*-*-*-100-*-*-*-*-*-* |
Pitkon 2003-11-17 13:16 Tres'ni: You've said it... lol. ServiceGamer: yes, there is. It would take up too much space to explain here, I can mail u... |
Pitkon 2003-11-17 01:24 Thanx, Tres'ni... I suppose, then, that the distortion of icos at large size is a generic bbicons problem, right? |
Pitkon 2003-11-16 05:09 Tres'ni: Thanx, I don't have a site either at the moment... BTW, did u have any chance to work on bbicons? (Crosses fingers, again...) |
Pitkon 2003-11-14 06:15 moshi: U r quite right - sieMens - sMs; very clever. sMs: U should be ashamed of urself, after all the help u got from everyone of us at this site... |
Pitkon 2003-11-13 03:32 Hey, Tres'ni, since u r bored, how about updating ur bbicons? Icons at large size get distorted, and we'd like support for bmp and png files... Thanx! (Keeping fingers crossed...) |
Pitkon 2003-11-11 01:40 dubox: Use Bevel 2 (poorman's border... lol) |
Pitkon 2003-11-07 05:30 Bbwin rocks! I use BBLean, I didn't even turn bbhook off and there was no problem whatsoever with any style so far. I even used it with msstyles, still looks great. Thanx, guys! |
Pitkon 2003-10-31 10:43 Jesterace: Sorry, it's not slittable. I just place it there, over the slit... |
Pitkon 2003-10-31 09:34 BTW, has anyone tried bb4win.org today? The site seems to be down... |
Pitkon 2003-10-31 09:31 C'mon, Mortar, Uzer, the rest of u dev people... It's trick or bbwinskin! |
Pitkon 2003-10-31 01:38 sMs: ltj is right, try Norton Commander for Windows... |
Pitkon 2003-10-30 07:11 Yeah, I tried Lithium and it froze on me; various other unpleasant things happened, like mouse pointer disappearing, system slowing down etc... Thank goodness for ShellOn... |
Pitkon 2003-10-26 19:31 Jesterace: mspain: Very aptly named! sMs can also use gimp for windows, which is fantastic and free. |
Pitkon 2003-10-25 18:32 simplicity@sea, did u check ur mail? |
Pitkon 2003-10-23 16:55 Lol |
Pitkon 2003-10-23 14:57 freeb0rn: What's the matter with u? First u see chatbox centered and then u wonder about the searchbox? Lol. It's been there for ages! |
Pitkon 2003-10-20 15:59 Jesterace: I have sent styles before and they were uploaded and featured with the screenshot. I dont think the problem lies with my styles (they r all txt files) because of all the styles I've sent, only the two last ones failed to upload... |
Pitkon 2003-10-20 12:32 Jesterace: What if i copied the text from the style into a comment under each of my styles? |
Pitkon 2003-10-20 11:04 Tres'ni: Sorry, didnt see history. I uploaded a text file, like always. |
Pitkon 2003-10-20 08:41 Jesterace: Resubmit two screenshots w/ styles? Isn't this silly? Lol |
Pitkon 2003-10-20 07:30 Only thing I can say is resubmit them. |
Pitkon 2003-10-20 07:14 To Tres'ni, Jesterace or any other administrator: I'm afraid I have to say it again, since I got no answer: I have uploaded both my styles for Evolution and Penguin Heart, but they r not there! What happened? I am quite sure I sent them. And, if there was some technical problem or something, how can I resend them?
|
Pitkon 2003-10-19 13:04 sMs: The style files weren't uploaded |
Pitkon 2003-10-19 12:00 To Tres'ni, Jesterace or any other administrator: I have uploaded both my styles for Evolution and Penguin Heart, but they r not there! What happened? |
Pitkon 2003-10-19 05:23 NC-17: Your styles are among the best around, so u don't mind if we use them for a nice desktop, do u? Lol. But I envy u, i wish i was a programmer myself - as for the nice desktop, believe it or not, it helps me to work better on my puter... |
Pitkon 2003-10-19 03:04 No one does, dubox, no one does... Desktops are art and wharfs played an important role in this art... Ask any great artist/author, from Dangeruss to Treetog... |
Pitkon 2003-10-18 17:41 NC-17: Yeah, right click menu is possibly about as fast as a wharf, but how many icons can u squeeze in a menu item? About nil and a half, methinks... lol |
Pitkon 2003-10-18 17:38 Hey, I just found out that my latest style, Evolution, wasn't uploaded with the screenshot. How can I upload it now? |
Pitkon 2003-10-18 17:13 Yes, a bbwharf would be GREAT. It's the easiest way to launch programs - and VERY beautiful, too! Bbdrawer isnt a wharf, not even close. And, NC-17, if this is bb, then we should all throw away bbsystembar, bbicons, bbanalog and bbsysmon, to name a few... lol |
Pitkon 2003-10-17 09:39 Message understood, freeb0rn, and now i'm uploading my styles and wallpaper links along with the screenshots. However, I think u should change the "Submit Screenshot" thingie to "Sumbit Screenshot AND Style", or, better still, create separate Screenshot/Style section... |
Pitkon 2003-10-17 07:25 Iridium, why don't u add ur opinion under comments, in evolve's news thread? There's something cooking and we must all chip in... |
Pitkon 2003-10-17 03:00 Change the alpha value in blackbox.rc, sMs. If u r using BBLean, choosing transparency is even easier... |
Pitkon 2003-10-16 17:38 Hmmm... Interesting, evolve... OK, only text files it is, then... But we do need a styles repository, don't we? |
Pitkon 2003-10-16 16:47 Now, this may seem silly and probably is... lol.. but i was wondering if i could upload instead of a style file (.txt) a zip file. This way, I could include the style, the wallpaper, and other things that go with a specific style. Is there a byte limit or something? Jesterace, I guess this is for u... |
