blackbox hasn't been updated since 2005, unfortunately, I used it myself for a few years.
The generally "maintained" blackbox-alike window managers are fluxbox and openbox, the latter being GPLv3 licensed though.
If you're looking for something very minimalistic, consider
cwm(1) in base, it's not in your face and has a very intuitive configuration syntax (..and an optional mouse-click menu that may be familiar to you).
For example, your
.cwmrc could contain:
Code:
command "Mozilla Firefox" "firefox"
mousebind M-2 window_lower
mousebind M-3 window_resize
This will:
* Put Firefox in a right click menu.
* Bind alt(..M/meta) + middle mouse clicks to hide/"iconify" windows.
* Bind alt + right mouse button to resize windows.
There is already a default binding for the alt + left mouse button, for window dragging.
