💅 bstyleconvert(1) — the X11 glow-up page 🦋

okay bestie, so bstyleconvert is a Blackbox style conversion utility. yes it's a whole mouthful, and yes it's about to be your new fave. it lives in the X11 manual, section 1, iykyk ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

bstyleconvert — a Blackbox style conversion utility. that's the whole name, no notes, periodt.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

bstyleconvert files...

that's it. drop your files in, let it cook 🔥

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea. Blackbox 0.70+ is fully committed to supporting the style syntax of previous versions — like, it promises to be backwards compatible so all your older styles can still be loaded and used. iconic behavior honestly 👑

but however, if one of your favorite styles seems 'broken', you can try this utility. that's what it's here for, bestie 🫶

what it actually does: bstyleconvert reads the old Blackbox style file(s) you give it (those are <= 0.65) and produces brand new corresponding style file(s) for you. and the naming? it appends -new to the original filename(s). so cute, so simple, no cap 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

ngl this is the easiest section ever:

  • This program does not support (nor need) any options. zero flags, zero drama, zero --help situations. it just vibes 💀
