+-- data/README for Blackbox 0.61.x - an X11 Window manager
+
+The data/ directory holds some menu and style (or theme) examples for Blackbox.
+These are installed as system defaults, and are ALWAYS overwritten when
+upgrading or otherwise re-installing Blackbox.  Changes to them are
+discouraged, because of this reason.
+
+In the data/ directory, you will find a file named `menu' and a directory
+named `styles.'  These are the system defaults that are installed when
+Blackbox is built, and they are intended as examples on how to customize and
+control the appearance of Blackbox.  In the event that a user does not have
+a defined menu and/or style, Blackbox falls back on the example menu and/or
+styles included here.
+
+For information on creating/editing a menu, see the file README.menu.
+
+For information on creating/editing a style, see the file README.style.
