After reinstalling WinXP I decided not to replace the shell with sharpE because of some bugs and i don't like .net framework 3.5...
Anyway, I gave Black Box one more try and finally got rid of the bugs I had there before ^^

However, here's the result...



...and btw, Raj:
I think I have the winamp skin you're looking for (at least the color scheme might fit):

nice^^

However, never tried it (because atm I'm using aimp2 instead of winamp), but what about the plugin "BBWinAmpList" ?
http://bb4win.sourceforge.net/plugins.html   

Ah and before I forget: I noticed on Linux I have much better sound than on Windows (no matter which player I'm using).
Specially on Ubuntu I don't need any surround plugin - stereo sounds will automatically upmixed to 5.1 (7.1 also possible) by the default sounddriver. And if that's not enough I have the option to write my own sound effect script^^
Also the Bass is much stronger and the Subwoofer even with default settings set to the perfect frequencies.
Just try it when you have some time ;)

I've tried BBWinAmpList, but it didn't work the way I wanted.
Doesn't matter anyway, since I like to keep the number of plug-ins small as possible. I don't need the playlist most of the time.

Not interested in Ubuntu, no matter how great the sound it has "out of the box".

There's bbstylemaker if you want to make something nicer :P

I used bbstylemaker. I wanted everything in white, but with some thin black borders for more overview.
However, maybe I will change the font later

*fixed*
OK, not a big difference xD



I know, I'm bugging you, but I thought about porting this style to Linux so I Installed Fluxbox, the successor of BlackBox.



I have already fixed some issues, but it's still far away from perfection.
I will add some features later... I hope I can find a small symbol bar, If not I will enable desktop icons...
also couldn't find sth like bbinterface until yet -.-

Getting nicer!  ;)
I don't like the choice of font though, kind of huge xD


Yea, I didn't like to look on the internet for some other fonts, but I like its look - the only Issue is: if I make it just a little bit smaller it will be too small. I hope I will find something similar with other size

What you did with fluxbox can be achieved on Windows with bbLean aswell.
There's also another box for Linux called Openbox that you may want to try. It was originally based on Blackbox, but was later completely rewritten.


True...
However, I have read a little bit about other box style WMs, like waimea, white box, openbox, awesome WM,... what a huge list xD
Anyway, Fluxbox seems to be the most popular, but Openbox seems to be better (I will try it later). Fortunately Ubuntu has the option to choose the shell you want at login so I will have no problem to try one more :D

Btw, I have replaced the Gkrellm shell (which I ran into the slit) With Conky - a fully configurable (content, transparency, colors of anything, layout, bg image...) sytem monitor
Icons will get changed later

Unfortunately the only good *box compatible composite manager (responsible for effects like transparency) has some issues with the graphics driver (mobility radeons are energy saving but suck at functionality-.-) so it slows down the system, specially workspace switching -.-

PS: Use Linkimg bbcode, this way people can click your images and view them in full size.
Sorry, but that will not bring much: I've uploaded the pictures on Flickr (unforunately they will get downsized -.-)
I will register on Deviant Art tomorrow
EDIT: I have reupped some of the pictures

You mentioned BBI, get it from here: http://www.kazmix.com/bb4win/ (a mod of BBI, more features, more stable).
You can use images with BBI if you want to make some sort of app launcher. I just use few buttons with text.

Thanks, I will try it latter
