A Wayfire decoration plugin that renders decorations using the rendering engine of marco, the Mate Desktop's windows manager.
The same rendering is used too in the latest versions of compiz (gtk-window-decorator).
It parses and renders metacity themes of all versions, i.e. v1, v2 and v3.
I also made a plugin with a external executable using the same rendering engine: wf-external-decoration
Wayfire 0.8.x
Gtk3 >= 3.24
Go to the source folder, setup meson, compile and install.
$ cd your-path/metacity-decor
$ meson setup build
$ ninja -C build
$ sudo ninja -C build installYou can configure the plugin using wcm, the Wayfire Configuration Manager, or edit the wayfire.ini.
The font must be a string acceptable by pango_font_description_from_string, don't forget the size !
The font height determines the height of the buttons.
Normally, a metacity theme takes the title and background colors by the active gtk theme. But since it is not possible to rely on the gtk theme in a plugin, these are configurable in the plugin options.
The buttons layouts must be in the format:
left_button1,left_button2...:right_button1,right_button2...The supported buttons are: minimize, maximize, close, stick and shade.
NOTE: Not all metacity themes out there support the stick and shade buttons, only those made for marco do.
Metacity themes have a menu button that would be ideal for a menu of actions on the window, but I don't know how to show a menu from a plugin.
Normal views.
Shaded views.
My theme is a tweaked Crux, I changed the tint of the title area and left side border.
