Blackbox (Finally) Updated

Posted by timothy on from the occasional-and-careful dept.

mpeg4codec writes "OSNews reported earlier this month that the lightweight Blackbox window manager has been updated to 0.70. Among the new features are EWMH compliance, anti-aliased fonts, unicode support, and backwards compatibility with previous versions' styles. Of course, it brings you all these new features (well, some are optional) while retaining its small binary size, small memory footprint, and short list of dependencies. I for one think it's about time."

    ...if you like someting that has the functionality of twm and the look and feel of a box of pencils. Sorry, but I'll be sticking with the much better and lighter (compared to what it provides) Enlightenment 17. Anyone who actually likes Blackbox is a knob.
