💖 BBPAGER 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is bbpager — the pager situation for the Blackbox window manager, straight out of the bbtools collection. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

bbpager — a pager for the Blackbox window manager 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bbpager

that's it. no flags, no args, no drama. she just is. 👑

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so bbpager is a pager for Blackbox and all other Blackbox-compatible Window Managers. fr fr, she plays nice with the whole friend group. 💜

here's what she can do:

  • change colors and gradients (yes, gradients, we love a glow-up 🌈)
  • move windows around — including to other desktops ✨
  • optionally chill in the Blackbox slit if you want her there 🎀

it's also possible to define how the desktops are displayed, by defining the number of rows or columns to use. so like, you get to decide the whole layout vibe. slay. 💅

🧚 CONFIGURATION 🧚

by default, bbpager reads the Blackbox style-file as defined in ~/.blackboxrc and copies as much of the style as possible. she's basically doing a full outfit inspo pull from your Blackbox setup. 😭 See blackbox(1) for further information.

now — if the resource bbpager.autoConfig is turned true, the tool will periodically check the main config files to see if they have changed. which files, you ask? okay so:

  • ~/.blackboxrc for Blackbox users
  • bbpager.nobb for other WM's

and if they have changed, bbpager will reconfigure itself accordingly. she's self-aware, she's adaptable, she's iconic. 🔥

🍓 FILES 🍓

the location of bbpager's configuration files is as follows:

  • /etc/bbtools/bbpager.rc — the global configuration file
  • $HOME/.bbtools/bbpager.rc — the local configuration file
