What is Blackbox?

Blackbox is that fast, light window manager you have been looking for without all those annoying library dependencies.

If you have a C++ compiler and the X Window System you can compile and use it. Blackbox is built with C++ and contains completely original code (even though the graphics implementation is similar to that of Window Maker).

About Blackbox WM

Blackbox Wiki!

(old) Blackbox FAQ (about to be moved)

This is a window manager for X under Linux. It is similar in many respects to such popular packages as Window Maker, Enlightenment, and FVWM2. You might be interested in this package if you are tired of window managers that are a heavy drain on your system resources, but you still want an attractive and modern-looking interface.
