There is a big difference between boxes and wharfs. If you look at the front page of the site you will find a "Wharf Theme". The LiteStep Wharf is very similar to the AfterStep wharf or the Blackbox Slit. You can attach modules to it, that are written for it, and provide shortcuts to applications and such. A Box, or LSBox, is an area that most modules can be hooked to and dragged about. Wharfs are 64x64 squares where LSBoxes can be of any shape and size, shape done via MagicPink. A good example of a box theme would be 21 by darkfyre. The wharf has been a "dead" module for some time now because of its lack of flexability and overall classic form.
