BBTools

Before we get started



BB-tools are a number of simple X-Window programs to display the status of different resources. The style and part of the code is copied from Blackbox a small and extremely fast X11-Windowmanager.
Although the programs are written to be used with Blackbox, they should work in any other X11-Windowmanager.
