I have bblean and normal blackbox (bb4win) I can load both of these fine but does anyine know how I can configure and hack them up so they look real good.
You should have the 3DCC plugin for one.. and get 3DCC. And maybe look at some buttons...
The bbtaskswitch plugin is good, for skinning your alt+tab menu.
And check out the bbClean mod for icons, separators and custom glyphs in your menus. I don't use it only because it breaks compatibility wit bbstylemaker, wich you can use to edit your styles in real time.
