There is more, of course. Just open plugins' instructions (where there are any) especially in htm format and see what more bro@ms you can find...

Afraid not, since volume is not BB dependent :(

Can I send bro@ams to a running BBLean instance via BatchScript? I've got a program that can't run in fullscreen and needs borderless window mode to work properly, so I considered either to set desktop margins to zero when the program runs (and reset them after it quits) or to enable (and disable) "AutoHide" for BlackboxBar.

To answer my own question:

Yes, sending bro@ms from batch script to a running BB instance is perfectly possible to change desktop margins, auto hide or set the "BbBar sets desktop margin" option.

 

Usage example:

Blackbox.exe -exec @BBCfg.desktop.marginBottom 10
