  • I Still Use Windows 95 (archived, 2008)
    I used this Windows port of Blackbox many years ago. Perhaps time try again. https://bb4win.sourceforge.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago
  • Alternative Windows Desktop
    Cool, that still exists. Some years ago I was into all that desktop customization and tried this, LiteStep [0] and Blackbox/bb4win [1] but ended up with BlackBox. Nowadays, all the customization I need is a tool to fix the taskbar position that someone who probably uses a portrait mode monitor moved to the wrong spot [2] and a launcher [3] [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiteStep [1]:... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Riced out my desktop a bit - who says Windows isn't customizable?
    You can go farther but it might become buggy http://bb4win.sourceforge.net/ I have not tested it for along time but it was fun to play with. Source: over 1 year ago
