Blackbox Documentation/Blackbox Styles/Implementation Status
The style syntax implemented by Blackbox has proven extremely successful over the years, and has been kept by many of the projects which have derived from Blackbox, as well as many helper or utilitary applications.
This page attempts to provide a (hopefully) up-to-date list describing in short how those other projects have changed their implementation, in comparison to the latest Blackbox.
The latest Blackbox syntax is documented in /StyleSyntax. To see how the Blackbox syntax evolved with each release, please see /SyntaxChanges.
Do not detail the actual differences of implementation here. This site is dedicated to Blackbox. Provide just a summary of the differences, and link to more detailed documentation, if it exists.
This list is not just for window managers. Any application that deals with style files can, and should, be listed, provided it is designed for Blackbox. The list would get quite big if it would include all the configuration tools for all related window managers out there.
Please try to keep the list ordered alphabetically.
