Mutter 3.1.90

[news 28]

There's several long-requested features in this release:

larger draggable borders on windows, antialiasing on rounded window

corners, and unredirection of full-screen 3D games for maximum

performance. Thanks to Jasper and Adel for this work!

 

About Mutter

============

 

Mutter is a window and compositing manager that displays and manages

your desktop via OpenGL. Mutter combines a sophisticated display

engine using the Clutter toolkit with solid window-management logic

inherited from the Metacity window manager.

 

While Mutter can be used stand-alone, it is primarily intended to be

used as the display core of a larger system such as GNOME Shell. For

this reason, Mutter is very extensible via plugins, which are used

both to add fancy visual effects and to rework the window management

behaviors to meet the needs of the environment.
