Hi, hinjolicious. New plugins ARE being brought into the X64 platform, like BBRun (see News on the right). Glad you keep checking in! :)

Hi all! I've been using bb for sometime in the past and I'm still keep coming back and checking in how's things going with this community :) I'm glad bbLean 1.17.1 is quite stable on win7 x64... thought it would be great if more plugins brought into the platform too... :D

Glad to hear you are so dedicated, T3mp3st! You understand, of course, that Linux has its own breed of Blackbox :)

Thanks Pitkon!! Time to study up and play around. I thought BBLean was the be all/end all, and it turns out it is NOT. AWESOME! I definitely see myself participating more in the community as I get further along in my experience with BOX. I run it on my Aptosid Debian Linux installation in true CrunchBang fashion as well.

Welcome, T3mp3st! There are many builds newer than better than the last BBLean release. Namely, BBLeanMod, Xoblite RC3/RC4 (Nightly Build), and BBClean-XZ - and more are on the way. As for reads resources for a newb, there is always our official forum, lostinthebox with many topics, and I did write some tutorials a long time ago, although they NEED to get updated... lol:
[link] tutorial part I - the shell
[link] tutorial part II - the plugins
[link] tutorial part III - the styles

Anything out there that's newer or better than the last bblean released?

T3mp3st on 16 Nov : 20:20

Hey all!! Didn't even KNOW there was BB for Windows till yesterday. Anybody got some good reads/resources for a newb?

Menu.Grip Is A Reality

XZero450 offered a nightly build with a menu.grip option for the first time ever in Blackbox’history. The grip includes the same styling options as for Menu.Title, including appearance, borders, height and text/font options. This is a Xmas gift indeed! Get it from [link]

Merry Xmas, Everyone! With Some Gifts, Perhaps

BB4Win wishes you all Merry Xmas! And, perhaps, we will all get our gifts before New Year’s eve. Two developers, qwilk and XZero450, are working on Blackbox builds with menu grip and MAYBE they will be out within the next few days. Happy holidays indeed!

BBRun Reloaded, Works on x64 Systems As Well

The -r- uploaded his latest BBRun build which works for the first time on x64 systems as well.
bbRun / bbRunBar is a configurable "run" plugin, originally designed for bbLean, compatible with Xoblite and other branches of Blackbox For Windows 32 and 64 bits.
Features
* Configurable, click-able, Text-only, no-buttons input box
* Open files with shell parameters, run shell commands, Broadcast Messages (Broams: call menus, interfaces, anything possible with blackbox)
* Creates and uses aliases allowing to turn complex operations into simple user-friendly commands
* Recursive aliases (alias of an alias of...) with placeholders ($) and prefix modes.
* Since bbRun can be invisible and its Alias system can be used from outside (@bbrun.run), menus and interfaces can also use bbRun features.
* Environment variables for the whole Blackbox environment, increasing possibilities for other plugins (such as bbInterface) and portable applications (no install needed) to create a portable and powerful system (e.g.: instantly working from a flash drive in any PC)
* Everything set up and managed from its configuration file: bbrun.rc )
* Optionally shrink Blackbox memory each time a shell command is executed. Useful on older low memory NT/XP systems.
* Command history, aka Most Recent Used (MRU) list, configurable.
* 2 interfaces to choose: classic bbRun (a pop-up dialog) or bbRunBar (blackbox style bar or box)
Interface
bbRun's user interface is minimal: like Windows' "Run" dialog (Win+R hotkey), and the current directory is displayed. Like a console, but no output.
2 user interface versions are included:
* bbRun: standard run dialog, invisible, called by Broam (or hotkey).
* bbRunBar: blackbox-style bar, sizeable, configurable; it can be hidden, or used inside the Slit. Vertical layout can be used for a "more box than a bar" aesthetics.
