 Posted: Fri Oct 28, 2005 5:48 am Post subject: Change metacity theme? |
 |
|
How can I change a Metacity theme? I'm using the Clearlooks GTK+ engine in Xfce and I decided to replace xfwm4 with metacity so I can also use the Clearlooks window borders. The problem is, since I don't have Gnome, I can't change it using Gnome's theme manager... So, how can I manually change my Metacity theme?

Okay, I'll do that when I get home. (I'm at school right now.)
Thanks.

| Gtk-chtheme is only going to be able to change your gtk theme, not metacity. |

| Metacity stores all it's settings in gconf. Open up gconf-editor and change /apps/metacity/general/theme to whatever theme you want to use (Clearlooks?) |
