# bbkeys.bb(5)

bbkeys style configuration file

## NAME

bbkeys.bb - bbkeys style configuration file

## SYNOPSIS

**$HOME/.bbtools/bbkeys.bb**

## DESCRIPTION

By default **bbkeys** reads the Blackbox style-file as defined in *$HOME/.blackboxrc* and copies as much of the style as possible. The result is a application which looks a lot like the toolbar.

### Reconfigure bbkeys

If the resource : *bbkeys.autoConfig:* is set to *true* the tool will periodically check if the main config files, *$HOME/.blackboxrc* for Blackbox users and *bbkeys.nobb* for other WM's to see if they have changed. If so **bbkeys** will reconfigure.

### Copying the look of the Blackbox toolbar

**bbkeys** automatically copies the style of the blackbox toolbar. It copies:

bevelWidth -\> bbkeys.bevelWidth\
 window -\> bbkeys.frame\
 window.label -\> bbkeys.label\
 window.color -\> bbkeys.frame.color\
 window.colorTo -\> bbkeys.frame.colorTo\
 window.label.color -\> bbkeys.label.color\
 window.label.colorTo -\> bbkeys.label.colorTo\
 window.textColor -\> bbkeys.textColor
