yeah.. and have you found that it's a very very poor bit of software yet? you might want to look at an alternative verion called bluebox http://bluebox.redf.net/ if you can find it... looks a lot better.
mind you, litestep.org is really the way to go. includes a number of blackbox dervied themes.

I've just tried it out. It's pretty neat. I cannot wait to format my computer, install back win98 for games (since I've 2k now, and although it's a better OS then 98, for games it is not...) with Blackbox and Slackware 9.1 also with Blackbox  . tasty...

Well is not that bad acid_kewpie. I had some trouble with plugins but overall, it speeds up my computer on windows and is easily scriptable. I enjoy it but thats my point of view.
I would love to try that bluebox thing, but there site must be down.
