metacity gnome-compliant window manager
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Metacity is not a meta-City as in an urban center, but rather
|
||
|
|
Meta-ness as in the state of being meta. i.e. metacity : meta as
|
||
|
|
opacity : opaque. Also it may have something to do with the Meta key
|
||
|
|
on UNIX keyboards.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Boring window manager for the adult in you. Many window managers
|
||
|
|
are like Marshmallow Froot Loops; Metacity is like Cheerios.
|
||
|
|
- Uses GTK+ 2.0 for drawing window frames. This means colors, fonts,
|
||
|
|
etc. come from GTK+ theme.
|
||
|
|
- Has a simple theme system and a couple of extra themes come with it.
|
||
|
|
Change themes via gconf-editor or gconftool:
|
||
|
|
gconftool-2 --type=string --set /apps/metacity/general/theme Crux
|
||
|
|
- Change number of workspaces via gconf-editor or gconftool:
|
||
|
|
gconftool-2 --type=int --set /apps/metacity/general/num_workspaces 5
|
||
|
|
Can also change workspaces from GNOME 2 pager.
|
||
|
|
- Change focus mode:
|
||
|
|
gconftool-2 --type=string --set /apps/metacity/general/focus_mode mouse
