BBColor v1.1
description
BBColor is a Blackbox for Windows plugin that auto-magically sets the colours of your windows' titlebars to match the current Blackbox style settings. And it will change these colours automatically every time you switch styles. A Poor Man's Window Skinning, if you like! <vbg> Regular #bb4win idler Laurence Skegg (NC-17) came up with the idea, and I found it so intriguing that I had to create this plugin, which is in turn inspired by the LiteStep module SysColor by Bobby G. Vinyard (Message).

Please note that BBColor requires
Blackbox for Windows 0.0.60 or later.

Enjoy! :D

revision history
BBColor v1.1 (2002-11-25) / nc-17
  • Added support for Tooltip colours
  • Added support for Selected Menu Option colours;
          these are the same as the Highlight Text colours.
  • Checks to make sure the Selected Menu Option is
          not the same as the Window colour, otherwise you
          wouldn't be able to see what you were highlighting!
  • BBColor v1 (2002-11-22) / qwilk

  • Original release
  • future releases?
  • Support for more UI elements?
  • [your wish goes here - send me your ideas! :D ]
  • initial setup

    To load BBColor you simply need to add the relative path of the plugin (from your Blackbox directory) to the Blackbox configuration file plugins.rc (located in the Blackbox directory). For example, if you installed Blackbox into c:\Blackbox, and BBColor.dll is located in c:\Blackbox\plugins\BBColor, you should add the line...

    plugins\BBColor\BBColor.dll

    ...to plugins.rc. Simple, eh? :)

    how to use bbcolor...

    Well, I've taken care of that part for you; there is nothing to configure! :D
