Colors, gradients, borders, and several other basic appearance attributes can be specified; recent versions of Fluxbox support rounded corners and graphical elements. Fluxbox also has several features Blackbox lacks, including
tabbed windows, a feature familiar from PWM, and a configurable titlebar.
Fluxbox's themes used to be 100% compatible with
Blackbox, but Blackbox 0.70 has added new style features.
