NAME

       bbdate - display the current date in a Blackbox style window

SYNOPSIS

       bbdate [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       bbdate  displays the date in a decorated window, simulating the look of
       the Blackbox toolbar (Blackbox is a Window Manager for X11).   To  copy
       this look, a great deal of the code was taken from Blackbox.

USAGE

       By   default  bbdate  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.

       The  position  is  given as +x+y or -x-y (or combination) where -x-y is
       the (x,y) distance of the right bottom of screen to the right bottom of
       bbdate.

       So  position -0-0 puts the application in the lower right conner of the
       screen.
