Redirect to original
Description After some months of preparation and with the permission of respective programmers/artists, I released my new sidebar which includes the latest build of BBLean, my favorite Blackbox clone, the fullest sidebar I’ve submitted so far, including completely independent and free-floating elements (so it’s actually more of a set of widgets than an actual sidebar), plugins, wall, icons, and other goodies.
Specifically, this package contains:
1) BBLean 1.16 with the permission of its creator, grischka [link]
2) Six plugins – bbkeys, bbleanbar, bbleanskin, bbinterface with the permission of their creator/developer, grishka [link]
3) Three plugins – bbmuse, bbspectrum, bboscilliscope created by Kaloth [link] and included under the GNU General Public License.
4) One plugin – broamrelay, included under the GNU General Public License.
5) NeOS wall by danilloOc [link] [link] with the artist’s permission.
6) A set of 3FX icons by danilloOc [link] [link] with the artist’s permission.
7) My sidebar which includes a Wharf Bar to launch applications with, a Media Center including an audio player (Blackamp II) and an audio Mixer, a Control Panel to change styles and walls with, and an independent sidebar/bbinterface.rc setter which may come handy to people who like to change their bbi elements.
8) The style file that goes with the wallpaper.
9) A help file, necessary to guide you through the installation/usage procedure.
I would also like to thank SerVI [link] for pinpointing a typo that kept the sidebar setter from working.
As usual, there will be questions and some problems, since I can’t guarantee that the plugins will work flawlessly in all setups. I will try to work them out if you leave a message under the journal at [link] or if you note me, or if you e-mail me (pitkon@mland.gr).

Thanx so much! And I saw ur screenie. Something seems to be wrong about the icons. Did u unzip them to c:/ ?

trill0x [2005-07-23 22:25:02 +0000 UTC]

is it possible to recheck ur styles? i mean the monitor resolution
im using 1024x768 and after loading i cant see thw wharf,hide/show frame...

then i read ur doc:

quote:
Thought this was necessary for a resolution-independent setup, since my older sidebars wouldn’t fully appear on any desktop under 1152X864.

then i changed my resolution to 1152x864 just for testing and whop! there i see the 2 buttons showing up on the lower right corner
the show/hide frame is also visible.i dragged these to the middle

but still i cant see the full wharf like in ur screenshot
im shure its there only way to big to show on my 1024x768 screen.

i would really appriciate if u check this and maibe fix it so we all can enjoy ur awsome skins

ty in advance!

I've been taking a break from this shell and helping to test AeroShell from BetaGuy . Wacky stuff. This sidebar may just pull me back in to BBLean for a while though. BBInterface work is insane these days. I'm definitely impressed.

This is a great choice for people who are switching from Explorer to Blackbox. The people I've suggested Blackbox to are usually disappointed because they only see "emptiness", now they'll have the full system and some tools to feel at home in BB.
