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.
