---Edit---
Aha - I talked to the Metacity guy and apparently the lack of buttons IS a bug. He's asked me to fill a report requesting a --disable-gnome-doc-utils option as well, so if we're lucky Metacity might become compilable without any hacking

I'm surprised you say that Amigo, since you are such a fan of lightweight things. I find it really annoying needing orbitgconf is not a very heavy dependency.
It does, but I compiled without the compositor or xrender as the libs aren't in puppy. I can compile with them if someone has packaged the libs, otherwise I don't have enough motivation to compile them myselfand i think it support compisite effects also
lol sorry about the verrrrrrrrrry slow response, I went back to it and below is a image of maximise/minimise/close buttons by default you just need to run in a terminaldisciple wrote:OK, just for you Ttuuxxx I've compiled it with gconf support. I tested, and it works, but you'll have to figure out how to configure it, as it still doesn't have maximise/minimise/close buttons by default, and doesn't know where to look for icons or know about Alt-tab or anything (I tested the gconf configuration with `gconftool-2 --type=string --set /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/switch_windows '<Alt>Tab'`, which worked). I'm wondering if maybe that package doesn't set up gconf properly, and it isn't looking for the schemas file?

Code: Select all
gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/metacity/general/action_double_click_titlebar toggle_shade
Funny the only reason why I brought this back to life was because I was secretly adding metacity to 2.14X,dejan555 wrote:Hey ttuuxxx, thanks for bringing this thread up to the surface![]()
I've always wanted to properly set metacity and since dpup already has gconf tools I installed disciple's pet and your command for setting buttons worked!
The nice part you can always just reuse the theme Metacity theme setter located /usr/bin/metacity-setter since its a bash file it will work on any puppy with metacity on itdejan555 wrote:Nice ttuuxxx, I'll try this one with xfce panel
The reason why is that it lakes less resources. Metacity uses about the same resources as one xfce taskbar plugin, the second reason is that it has hundreds of excellent themes and 2.14X has a custom metacity theme selector that works really well, as soon as you click a theme, it automatically sets.disciple wrote:Why are you using metacity with the xfce panel? If you're going to include the xfce libs surely you might as well just use xfwm...
