Modifier to use for modified window click actions

Clicking a window while holding down this modifier key will move the window (left click), resize the window (middle click), or show the window menu (right click). The middle and right click operations may be swapped using the “resize-with-right-button” key. Modifier is expressed as ”]]> or ”]]> for example. false

Whether to resize with the right button

Set this to true to resize with the right button and show a menu with the middle button while holding down the key given in “mouse-button-modifier”; set it to false to make it work the opposite way around. 'appmenu:close'

Arrangement of buttons on the titlebar

Arrangement of buttons on the titlebar. The value should be a string, such as “menu:minimize,maximize,spacer,close”; the colon separates the left corner of the window from the right corner, and the button names are comma-separated. Duplicate buttons are not allowed. Unknown button names are silently ignored so that buttons can be added in future metacity versions without breaking older versions. A special spacer tag can be used to insert some space between two adjacent buttons. 'click'

Window focus mode

The window focus mode indicates how windows are activated. It has three possible values; “click” means windows must be clicked in order to focus them, “sloppy” means windows are focused when the mouse enters the window, and “mouse” means windows are focused when the mouse enters the window and unfocused when the mouse leaves the window. 'smart'

Control how new windows get focus

This option provides additional control over how newly created windows get focus. It has two possible values; “smart” applies the user’s normal focus mode, and “strict” results in windows started from a terminal not being given focus. true

Whether windows should be raised when their client area is clicked

The default, true, indicates that a window will be raised whenever its client area or its frame is clicked. Setting this to false means that a window will not be raised if it is clicked on the client area. To raise it, one can click anywhere in the window’s frame, or Super-click on any part of the window. This mode is useful if one uses many overlapping windows. 'toggle-maximize'

Action on title bar double-click

This option determines the effects of double-clicking on the title bar. Current valid options are “toggle-shade”, which will shade/unshade the window, “toggle-maximize” which will maximize/unmaximize the window, “toggle-maximize-horizontally” and “toggle-maximize-vertically” which will maximize/unmaximize the window in that direction only, “minimize” which will minimize the window, “shade” which will roll the window up, “menu” which will display the window menu, “lower” which will put the window behind all the others, and “none” which will not do anything. 'none'

Action on title bar middle-click

This option determines the effects of middle-clicking on the title bar. Current valid options are “toggle-shade”, which will shade/unshade the window, “toggle-maximize” which will maximize/unmaximize the window, “toggle-maximize-horizontally” and “toggle-maximize-vertically” which will maximize/unmaximize the window in that direction only, “minimize” which will minimize the window, “shade” which will roll the window up, “menu” which will display the window menu, “lower” which will put the window behind all the others, and “none” which will not do anything. 'menu'

Action on title bar right-click

This option determines the effects of right-clicking on the title bar. Current valid options are “toggle-shade”, which will shade/unshade the window, “toggle-maximize” which will maximize/unmaximize the window, “toggle-maximize-horizontally” and “toggle-maximize-vertically” which will maximize/unmaximize the window in that direction only, “minimize” which will minimize the window, “shade” which will roll the window up, “menu” which will display the window menu, “lower” which will put the window behind all the others, and “none” which will not do anything. false

Automatically raises the focused window

If set to true, and the focus mode is either “sloppy” or “mouse” then the focused window will be automatically raised after a delay specified by the auto-raise-delay key. This is not related to clicking on a window to raise it, nor to entering a window during drag-and-drop. 500

Delay in milliseconds for the auto raise option

The time delay before raising a window if auto-raise is set to true. The delay is given in thousandths of a second. 'Adwaita'

Current theme

The theme determines the appearance of window borders, titlebar, and so forth. DEPRECATED: This key is deprecated and ignored. true

Use standard system font in window titles

If true, ignore the titlebar-font option, and use the standard application font for window titles. 'Cantarell Bold 11'

Window title font

A font description string describing a font for window titlebars. The size from the description will only be used if the titlebar-font-size option is set to 0. Also, this option is disabled if the titlebar-uses-desktop-font option is set to true. 4

Number of workspaces

Number of workspaces. Must be more than zero, and has a fixed maximum to prevent making the desktop unusable by accidentally asking for too many workspaces. true

System Bell is Audible

Determines whether applications or the system can generate audible “beeps”; may be used in conjunction with “visual bell” to allow silent “beeps”. false

Enable Visual Bell

Turns on a visual indication when an application or the system issues a “bell” or “beep”; useful for the hard-of-hearing and for use in noisy environments. 'fullscreen-flash'

Visual Bell Type

Tells the WM how to implement the visual indication that the system bell or another application “bell” indicator has been rung. Currently there are two valid values, “fullscreen-flash”, which causes a fullscreen white-black flash, and “frame-flash” which causes the titlebar of the application which sent the bell signal to flash. If the application which sent the bell is unknown (as is usually the case for the default “system beep”), the currently focused window’s titlebar is flashed. false

Disable misfeatures that are required by old or broken applications

Some applications disregard specifications in ways that result in window manager misfeatures. This option puts the WM in a rigorously correct mode, which gives a more consistent user interface, provided one does not need to run any misbehaving applications. []

The names of the workspaces

Defines the names that should be assigned to workspaces. If the list is too long for the current number of workspaces, names in excess will be ignored. If the list is too short, or includes empty names, missing values will be replaced with the default (“Workspace N”).
