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.
