Blackbox Documentation/Blackbox Styles/Full Example
This page offers a safe, fully defined 0.70 style, as produced by bstyleconvert using a blank file as the input. It should work and be usable on most setups.
The black and white default colors were chosen because Blackbox is often used on display devices with reduced graphical capabilities. The lowest common denominator (a 2 bit display) is a safe assumption.
The fixed font is a default because Blackbox works with X, and X won't work without having a fixed font defined.
Please note that this style, despite being dubbed as full, cannot cover everything in the Blackbox style syntax. That's because there are possible alternatives that cannot all be covered at the same time. For instance, if you use a solid appearance, you'll need to define backgroundColor, but if you use a gradient you'll need to define color1 and color2.

Here is another example with "html-safe" color and use of wildcards:

And here's an example which creates borders around the window buttons:
toolbar.button.appearance: solid flat border toolbar.button.foregroundColor: #ffffff toolbar.button.backgroundColor: #485464 toolbar.button.borderColor: #98a4ba toolbar.button.borderWidth: 1 toolbar.button.pressed.appearance: flat solid border toolbar.button.pressed.foregroundColor: #ffffff toolbar.button.pressed.backgroundColor: #000000 toolbar.button.pressed.borderColor: #ffffff toolbar.button.pressed.borderWidth: 1 window.button.focus.appearance: solid flat border window.button.focus.backgroundColor: #485464 window.button.focus.foregroundColor: #ffffff window.button.focus.borderColor: #98a4ba window.button.focus.borderWidth: 1 window.button.unfocus.appearance: parentrelative window.button.unfocus.foregroundColor: #aaa29a window.button.pressed.appearance: flat solid border window.button.pressed.backgroundColor: black window.button.pressed.borderColor: #ffffff window.button.pressed.borderWidth: 1
