Hi!
I have two questions about making themes for metacity:

1. Can i change order of buttons on tittle bar, or, for example, move close button to the right?
2. Can i completely remove menu button (i don't mean to "draw nothing", i just don't want it at all)?
3. Can i make each button other size (for example like close button in windows vista)?

Thanks in advance for answers!

1 is possible (what I know). Use gconf-editor (launch from terminal, it is hidden by default :( )
Go to 'apps > metacity > general > button_layout' in gconf-editor to change button order. the : separates the left and right side. My preference there is 'maximize,minimize,menu:close', but that's just an example. I guess if you omit one button, it is not drawn.

I don't know about 3 but perhaps you can find a special theme.

Thanks for that! I removed the menu :)
Anyway, is it a way to make it theme-dependent?

Now, what about other things... -_-
