Extraits tiré du README :
- Uses GTK+ 2.0 for drawing window frames. This means colors, fonts,
etc. come from GTK+ theme.
- Does not expose the concept of "window manager" to the user. Some
of the features in the GNOME control panel and other parts of the
desktop happen to be implemented in metacity, such as changing your
window border theme, or changing your window navigation shortcuts,
but the user doesn't need to know this.
- Includes only the window manager; does not try to be a desktop
environment. The pager, configuration, etc. are all separate and
modular. The "libwnck" library (which I also wrote) is available
for writing metacity extensions, pagers, and so on. (But libwnck
isn't metacity specific, or GNOME-dependent; it requires only GTK,
and should work with KWin, fvwm2, and other EWMH-compliant WMs.)
[...]
- Metacity implements much of the new window manager spec from
freedesktop.org
(http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/wm-spec.html(...)), and much of
the ICCCM. But then there are parts of each that it doesn't
implement, just because I haven't yet.
- Uses Pango to render text, so has cool i18n capabilities.
Supports UTF-8 window titles and such.
