Welcome
I guess you want to know just exactly what whiteBOX is? Well, whiteBOX is a configuration tool for the blackbox window manager. It features a menu editor, a style editor, a background tool, and a keybinding tool.

whiteBOX features a modular architecture (using plugins) so it is easy to expand on (nudge nudge developers :)). Of course, this also means it is easy for you to tailor whiteBOX to suit your needs. whiteBOX can be easily integrated into blackbox (via the menu) and into bbkeys (via a patch - see downloads section), so that it just becomes part of the furniture of blackbox.

Also, for all you blackbox derivative fans (i.e: fluxbox, openbox, etc), its likely blackbox will work for you too.

Grab a copy of whiteBOX today and let me know what you think. Check out the about page for a more detailed description of whiteBOX.

Cheers,
Luke
