Posted April 19, 2006 To me simple isn't just what you see on the screen, it's also the RAM usage. Blackbox uses less RAM than explorer I think you'll find, even if you use the classic windows style most likely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 20, 2006 Sidey, just out of curiosity, what's that DC client between the 2 pwdc's ? never heard of it.... Nor would I expect you to have seen it. Locutus is well.. customized.. another coder built it for me and a very few others. To use LUA scripts for DC protection, and such. I only bring it into hubs when needed. as it tends to not like anyone. Its this way on purpose. its got custom built raw commands and detections in it for most every client. its based on DCDM source, but not the same as regular DCDM. source was from .495 if that helps you.. I dont use it much. only in emergencies.. (dont ask, I wont lie) To me simple isn't just what you see on the screen, it's also the RAM usage. Blackbox uses less RAM than explorer I think you'll find, even if you use the classic windows style most likely. grogs. where can I find out more info about this "Blackbox shell" anything to reduce overhead on resources is worth looking at for me...

Posted April 20, 2006 bbLean is the best one availble for Windows in my opinion, for styles/themes do take a look on deviantart. It's a very customizable shell. bbLean Plugins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 2, 2006 RainyShadow, nice to see you here too (again?). Really nice desktop, still I wonder whether the work for it wasn't longer than the Windows installation? :stuart: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 3, 2006 RainyShadow, nice to see you here too (again?). Really nice desktop, still I wonder whether the work for it wasn't longer than the Windows installation? Yeah, very true! Installation takes less than a hour, but setting all the stuff right up to the smallest details needs much more time. I'm doing this for almost two years since last install And there're a lot of things that can't be shown with a screenshot, things i enjoy every single day... btw. some desktop examples here gave me a few nice ideas for future improving :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 3, 2006 Heh, my desktop can't improve, not that I ever look at it. Functionability is everything for me, if it looks nice that's a bonus, but not required. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 20, 2006 But which is faster and uses less resources? That or blackbox, that may look visually simpler than a lot of blackbox setups, but it's by no means faster I wouldn't have thought, with the XP theme and posible sliding start menu etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you want more speed, also try to disable paging of the XP Kernel, that way it runs off of the RAM instead of the HDD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 21, 2006 (edited) Alright, lets show you some more cool stuff blackbox can do. This is a setup I just created this afternoon. It's pretty similar, just different theme, and some new cool stuff added... wallpaper gone too. There is a system monitor there (custom built) and foobar/winamp controller (again, custom built). I can working on adding loads more stuff to the deskop... and also button to show and hide this stuff. My Desktop Tell me what you think, only a 32KB screenshot too, heh. If simplicity and low resources look like that, I'm staying. Edited May 21, 2006 by Greg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
