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? -- >Lute< Hey! It happens. Well it does...
