What is "blackbox"

In Unix computing, Blackbox is a stacking window manager for the X Window System.

Blackbox has specific design goals, and some functionality is provided only through other applications. One example is the bbkeys hotkey application. As no release has been made for over eight years, Blackbox is now dormant.

Blackbox is written in C++ and contains completely original code. It was created by Bradley T. Hughes and is available under the MIT License. Blackbox has compliance with the Extended Window Manager Hints specification.

Blackbox development is no longer active.

Blackbox is the first novel by British writer Nick Walker.
