Re: [gnome-flashback] metacity and gtk3

[Lanoxx <lanoxx gmx net>]

Hi,

I have tried to use Mutter with gnome-panel before, my experience was not very good. Its seems mutter is slower and also buggy with gnome-panel and it does not draw the window border shadows properly on my computer, instead it draws a several pixels wide black frame around every window, when I ALT+TAB. But on the other hand it might be possible to fix these issues, I don't know.

Cheers
Sebastian

Hi!

Now I have question... Do we realy need port metacity to gtk 3 and continue to use it with gnome flashback? Can't we just use mutter?

Metacity by default does not center opened windows, right? 

Cheers,

Alberts

Hi everyone!

It's great to see other devs interested in MATE! Porting metacity to GTK3 is my task, but right now I had to pause it a bit, since I'm studying at a university and the semester has begun, hence I don't really have time for it. I will continue to work on it, but first I have to arrange things here, then I can focus on the porting.

By the way I found a metacity port on GNOME git under mutter, isn't that what you are looking for? https://git.gnome.org/browse/mutter/tag/?id=3.0.0 (you made me unsure a bit, since that is the source I'm working "from", it is a great help)

When the work is done it will be merged back into mate-window-manager of course, but I don't know if it will be merged into metacity.

Greets,

Laszlo

Yes, one attempt I am aware of is the work of Laszlo Boros (Semmu), who
worked on porting mate-window-manager (a metacity fork) in this year's GSoC.
He blogged about it here: http://mategsoc.tumblr.com/

Laszlo, could you give us an update of the status of this work ? Is it
finished ? Was it merged back into mate-window-manager ? Are you
interested in merging it back into metacity ?

I'm also CCing the currently-listed metacity maintainers, in case they
are aware of any other porting efforts. BTW guys, are you on the
gnome-flashback-list ?

Cheers,
  Philipp
