I am not sure how hard it would be to change it, but the main thing I
have against blackbox is that it wanted me to have the mouse pointer in
the window to use the window. I didn't like that. I also like the
toolbar on icewm where my most used apps are just a single click away,
rather digging through a menu to get to it, and if you don't want to
look at it all the time, (but I sort of like the clock, CPU, and ppp
monitors.) simply auto hide it. I do have to say the blackbox has a
very attractive appearance, and did consider if for a while, but in the
end for the slightly larger foot print, and convienence of ice.
I think the best advice is to just try them all, and choose the one
that feels best to you, after all isn't that what most of us have done?
