well, thanks for the comments guys! Label'O's hasn't been released yet and I don't know if anyone has permission to do so. I haven't read something about that, so I assume noone isn't making it..I just made my port in short time and there isn't very much done, I don't know if I should finish it...

Permission not needed to port Swiz's work....here's the excerpt from his front page....

"So your a PC/Linux user who has ported an SS original?

I get so many emails from users of other operating systems letting me know that they have created their own ports of my work for their platforms it astounds me. I'll be very frank with you, the only community I am worried about is the Macintosh community; I create the OSX originals and strive for bug free, well thought and well executed GUI's. I do not endorse any particular port of my work for these other platforms. I do not attempt to regulate ports.

Port and distribute as you like while noting that the port is inspired by but unrelated to Swizcore Studio."

3DCC raapie-final, Ximian icons, rainlendar & some samurize by me .. nothing special but it makes me feel comfortable.

I wish I had the guts to go full time with bb.  I love the look but I could never get used to it.

I'd recommend it. The more time you spend with it the more you realize how good it can suite you're tastes (At least in my case). You can just run the exe without having to replace your shell...quit it at any time and go back to explorer...to test it out.

I could never go back to a non blackbox environment for one main feature alone, mouse controls on the title bar. You can control what happens when you right click, middle click, left click, shift or ctrl click etc a titlebar. This saves so much time, you woudn't imagine how useful it is. For me it's....

Left click: Bring focus to window

Middle Click: Close window

Right Click: Minimize window

Double left click: Roll-up window (Another great BB feature)

Ctrl left click: Maximize or restore

this is so much quicker than using the close / min / max buttons of normal windows, or right clicking a taskbar entry to bring up the menu to close, min or max an item. This alone saves so much time that if I couldn't use blackbox, I'd be willing ot run an application in the background for this feature. Let alone all the plugins that eliminate my need for Samurize, the clean, minimal looks, the sheer customizability of it and so on.....

those buttons will only good good with a skin whos dialog and menu colors are set to the same color, like F4F4F4 or something like that cause bitmaps dont support transparecy, and it isnt done yet :|

Ya, I've tried it, didn't like it very much. But looking

at your last screen, I kinda like the way it's set up there.

Maybe I'll mess around with it again. ;)

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By Kravex · Posted

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      By +Edouard · Posted

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
