CONFIGURATION

       Blackbox Users:

       By default bbtime reads the Blackbox style-file as defined in .blackboxrc and copies as much of the style
       as  possible.  The  result  is  an  application which looks a lot like the toolbar. Further configuration
       options can be found in bbtime.style.  Most likely you want to change these options, copy  this  file  to
       somewhere  in  your homedir (eg blackbox/bbtime.config) and edit it. Edit the file .blackboxrc and add or
       edit the line: bbtime.configFile: <your config file>.

       WARNING: You have to define the entire PATH.

       All style options set  by  reading  the  Blackbox-style  file  can  be  overridden  by  placing  them  in
       bbtime.config (and changing them). See bbtime.style for all possible options.

       Make sure the file .bbtoolsrc does not exist, else the configuration style for other Window Managers will
       be used.

       Users of other Window managers:

       By  default bbtime reads the bbtoolsrc and bbtime.nobb config files.  If you want to define your personal
       config-file copy bbtoolsrc to your homedir as ./.bbtoolsrc.  Copy bbtime.nobb somewhere in your  homedir.
       Edit .bbtoolsrc and add or edit the line: bbtime.configFile: <your config file>.

       WARNING: You have to define the entire PATH.

       Reconfiguration

       Press the right mouse-button on the envelope to cause bbtime to re-read its settings.

FILES

       bbtime automatically copies the style of the blackbox toolbar. It copies:
       toolbar                  -> bbtime.frame
       toolbar.label            -> bbtime.label
       toolbar.color            -> bbtime.frame.color
       toolbar.colorTo          -> bbtime.frame.colorTo
       toolbar.label.color      -> bbtime.label.color
       toolbar.label.colorTo    -> bbtime.label.colorTo
       toolbar.textColor        -> bbtime.textColor
       bevelWidth               -> bbtime.bevelWidth
       WARNING: if .bbtoolsrc is defined it won't copy the blackbox style.

       For the meaning of the different resources see the comments in the config-files.
