* Edit : It Has Come To My Attention that this here work has become very popular and receives a steady stream of hits. It may no longer work with some bb distributions and the new version of bb interface. The style, though, should work. " That is all " ***

After about a week of solid work - Its FINALLY completed

A full BlackBox suite, including Sounds, Icons, GFX and the revolutionary (well I hope) `M Interface.

Features >

* 81 Style by Monkeh T > SR-81 Wallpaper by Kocho
* Sounds , by Monkeh T
* `M Interface Beta by Monkeh T
+ Style Setter (Only One style provided)
+ Easy to position and configurable wharf with 13 icons included [BlackTabs Icons]
+ The Sleek `M Bar
+Winamp Controls and Song Ticker
+Easy Accsess to My Computer, Control Panel, Console and Run
+System Stats
+Menu - the heart of `M - this is where you accsess the config panels, and where you can turn off one or more components. (Also has the tray)
+ Edit - Edit `M or the current style

It is so easy to install and to use - it is designed with a newbie in mind.

WORKS COMPLETELY 100 % 'OUT OF THE BOX'

HOW TO INSTALL - Its all done with automatic installers,a ll you need to do is edit the paths at the very top of the .rc - can be done from within the GUI.

1 { First, Run INSTALL.EXE , point to BlackBox directory - crucial that you do that.

2 { Then run either XOBLITE.EXE or BBLEAN.EXE depending on what you are using - point to the `M directory you have just created

3 { Load `M.dll as a plugin - either by adding the path to plugins.rc or using the menu in the latest distributions of BB

4 { When loaded, make sure you load the default style by going to the `M MENU > CONFIG > style then SET!

5 { Make sure to open up BBinterface.rc by going to EDIT > click on 81. Just change the paths according to where you have the programs - ignore mine.

Thats about it - you can configure the menu position, wharf position and icons from the interface istelf - its very easy for newbies.

Screen sizes 1024 and 1280 are supported and can be configured, again from inside the GUI of the interface.

No need to install any other plugins!

Notes:

If you are interested in how `M works, i will be writing a developers guide shortly - it is a VERY big rc file and rather confusing to edit.
It is also a good idea to set the margins in extensions.rc of your blackbox folder according to where you have your system bars.

Enjoy - I hope its been worth the effort!
