How can I Change Metacity window decorations without installing gnome?

Hi. i'm using metacity as a standalone program (i.e I don't want to have all of gnome installed) and I don't know how to change the Window Decorations. While menu themes etc. work. Window decorations (title bar style, buttons etc.) look wrong and out of place. is there any way to change the window decorations theme for metacity? and how can I do it, without installing the entireity of gnome?

Just a quick note -- It looks like you have accidentally hit the 'report' link rather than the 'reply' link.  That sends a message to the moderators.  Generally when that happens, we copy the text back to the thread.  In this case, it looks like you recreated the content.  In any event, if you were wondering where your posts went ....
edit: On second look, it is not quite the same....
That's not right, It's still not changing the Title bar theme. I want the top bar to look like this: http://www.stellingwerff.com/clearlooks-metacity.png
NOT like this: http://www.muylinux.com/wp-content/uplo … named3.png Which is how it does at the moment.
and
I don't know anymore... lxappearance is telling me i'm using the clearlooks widgets, with Default gnome icons, and the whiteglass cursor theme.

    How can I change the window size of iTunes on my iMac?  Used to be easy before installing Mavericks.

    If you want to make the itunes tab so you can see the dock
    you press the
    esc
    button if your in full screen mode
    if you want to get into full screen mode you press the arrows facing away from eachother in the top right corner
    there is another way to get to the normal tab if your in full screen
    make the curser go right up to the top of the screen and it will show the apple tab
    it will have two arrows facing together highlited in blue
    if u tap that it will take you to the normal tab

  • Father's macbook now mine. How can I change name, admin, etc without losing apps and programs?

    Hello.
    My father bought a Macbook Pro 15'  retina 8Gb ram 256Gb SSD about 2 months ago.
    He set it up, bought many apps and programs but eventually got bored of it and gave it to me.
    He is not a Mac enthusiast and thought he should give it a try but he didn't stick to it.
    I'm not a Mac enthusiast either, but a good notebook is an ok present so I took it.
    I installed some programs and stuff, tried to learn how it works (I have no idea, I was always using windows), and I think I like it.
    However, the MacBook has my father's name, my father is the admin, and all the apps programs etc the he and I bought and installed are in his account.
    I have his password though. That's how I've been using it the whole time.
    How can I change the MacBook to make it "my own"?
    I have an apple ID cause I have an iPhone etc but I'm sure just changing that under the admin page won't be enough.
    Will I lose the apps my father bought?
    Will I have to reinstall all the programs that I installed while I was using the MacBook? For example will photoshop and capture nx be deleted as if I was formatting a pc and I will have to install them again?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    PS. MacBook is now running Mavericks OS X 10.9.4 and I want to upgrade.
    But first I want to make myself the "owner" to start getting things in the right order.

    If the "Find My iPhone" feature was already setup on the device, log in via iCloud.com and remotely lock the device.  Otherwise nothing can be done.

  • How can I change a restrictions passcode without losing all the restricted settings?

    We have two iPads for two boys... both are heavily restricted.  One of my boys saw the passcode and I changed it by disabling and then re-enabling restrictions, only to be shocked when ALL MY SETTINGS were reverted to default and DIDNT come back after enabling restrictions again.  How can I change the passcode on the other iPad without losing all the settings, especially the long list of blocked websites?
    Thanks in advance.

    What good would the passcode be if you could bypass it like that?

  • How can i change the windows structure into mac structure

    Before i had a mac i used my iPod on a windows computer. When i connect my iPod to my mac i see that i can only repair my iPod. I can't update . It sais that only Ipods with a mac structure can be updated.
    So is there a way to change the windows structure to a mac structure?

    You cannot change a Windows iPod into a Mac iPod without restoring it, which erases its contents. To restore it, use the repair button you saw.

  • How can I change my iCloud account without losing everything on my iPhone?

    When I got my iPhone 4S, I created my own Apple ID with my own information. When my mom got her iPhone a few months later, she used my Apple ID to get it going. I didn't think any harm would come of it, so I let her. But ever since then, she gets all of my iMessages and I get hers. It's really annoying and there's no privacy. I tried asking her to change her ID and get her own, but she doesn't want to. So I figured I would be the one to change even though the information (email address, etc.) on this ID that we share is all mine.
    But I'm not quite sure how to do that, and I'm skeptical because I've heard that I might lose all my photos and other saved content. If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance.
