From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Unix computing, Blackbox is a window manager for the X Window System. It is minimalist and popular among those seeking a fast, clean and light environment.
Blackbox has specific design goals, and some functionality is provided only through other applications. One example is the bbkeys hotkey application.
Blackbox is written in C++[5][4] and contains completely original code.[6] It was created by Bradley T. Hughes[1] and is available under the MIT License.
