BBDock 0.2.8

BBDock is an application launcher for Blackbox (and others) that allows you to create application buttons in the slit/dock. It works with PNG files rather than XPM images. BBDock supports alpha blending at 16, 24 and 32 bits color-depth. Also, the raise-window function is available to window managers which implement the EWMH specification. Note: there is a trancparency issue with blackbox 0.70. A workaround is this Slit.cc replacement (place into blackbox-0.70/src/). Configuration You may invoke BBDock either with your icons specified on command line or simply create a short configuration file (.bbdockrc) in your home directory. The syntax for a command-line-argument or a line in the configuration file is equal: IMAGEFILE:COMMAND[:WINDOWTITLE;[:IDLE]] IMAGEFILE - should be path and filename of some PNG icon COMMAND - a script or binary to execute WINDOWTITLE - is a semicolon-seperated list of case-insensitive window-titles of corresponding application-windows. Those strings may contain wildcard characters (* and/or ?) to exclusively identify a window. By providing this list you make the icon exclusive to one instance of course. Clicking on already launched icons will raise the corresponding window instead of invoking a new instance. IDLE - idle time after triggering one icon in miliseconds, instead of using numbers you may also use the terms "lame" (~ 10 s), "slow" (~ 5 s), "fast" (~ 500 ms) or "fastest" (~ 250 ms) For example, run it from command line this way: $ bbdock "~/.icons/firefox.png:firefox:*Firefox" Sample out of a ~/.bbdockrc: ~/.icons/terminal.png:xterm::1 ~/.icons/firefox.png:firefox:*Firefox To start by configuration file, just run bbdock. Type "bbdock -h" for a detailed view of general options.. BBDock | Home - button launcher for blackbox fluxbox openbox
