Does Blackbox really save you resources or anything? I've always liked your blackbox setup, I'm thinking I'll switch to it..

if you do the blackbox.exe -install, then this way you kill explorer.exe which use far less memory

but this way, you need an alternative to browse your file

I personally use, xplorer2 the free edition

shen seems to not have -installed it and keep explorer.exe installed

so blackbox run as another application and his version doesnt style toolbar, versus bblean does

I think we have a winner.

Awesome desktop, clean and minimal.

Do you have a link to the VS and icons? TIA.

Link to VS

Icons #1 and Icons #2

Hosted the VS because I can't seem to find it anywhere anymore. It's one of kol's, and personally, one of my favorites. :)

actually, i'm not sure what i've done that's so special, but i always use the -install switch to set it as my default shell, but explorer never pops up as a process for me. i can open 20 folders/windows and never see a whisper of explorer.exe.

*shrugs*

dunno what i've done, but that's how it's worked for me on all the pc's i've installed bbox on.

I use BBlean as the default shell and explorer as the file manager.

Whenever I start explorer as a file manager, I see the explorer process start using about 11meg. When I close the file manager, the process stops as one would expect.

Strange that we have different experiences. :wacko:

on my 'tower' pic, i'm using segoe ui. on my 'laptop' pic (the one i just used above, also), i'm using the longhorn font 'candara.'

i use the bblean .exe, but without all the extra stuff. just the bblean executable with all the normal bb4win .rc's and .dll's.

    • I just want to know why the volume control feature in the browser version keeps appearing then disappearing, here today - gone tomorrow. Now it's gone again. Annoying as hell.
    • When you have only lies and blood libels to present, you've lost. And how hard is it for you to look up BBC and AP? You hate Jews, just admit it.
    • This article does not make sense and it’s very evident, the bug wasn’t confirmed to exist, because the application itself runs on editions of Windows which make it impossible to run Hyper-V VMs on, “Basically, Claude Desktop on Windows spins up a 1.8GB Hyper-V virtual machine if you use Claude Cowork or agent mode even once.”, suggests the bug is caused by something else otherwise it would only happen to users with the capability of running Hyper-V VMs and that’s only if Hyper-V was enabled which is by default not enabled. The true issue is that the author who reported the bug used the incorrect terminology, it’s actually a container, not a VM that is being started by the way. There were users on macOS reporting the same issue, Hyper-V, doesn’t exist on that platform obviously. Every single user who confirmed the problem in the last week was either using macOS making this issue impossible to be relevant to them, or was a comment talking about WSL, which the author indicated 3 months ago was disabled.
    • “To prevent hallucination issues and keep the database clean, the platform uses a multi-agent verification loop to check code quality.” - This absolutely isn’t happening. ”Before the massive rise of LLMs, which tanked its traffic by about 50% over the last couple of years, Stack Overflow was the go-to website for millions of programmers seeking coding solutions.” - It still is trusted, because the community of users, blocked other users from submitting false and misleading answers generated by AI agents that can be convinced something it generated is actually incorrect even if it’s actually correct. The company itself doesn’t know what it wants to be so it keeps trying and failing to introduce AI features to the platform. This effort will also fail, already submitted one successful poison pill, look forward to generating more.
