Thomas,

wow! Thanks a lot! I fixed the centered title and I am now going through the rest of the theme for things that I wanted changed. :)

[...] It was said that Metacity doesn’t let you decide whether titles of windows are left-justified (as in modern versions of MS Windows) or centre-justified (as on the Mac). But actually, it’s a theme issue to decide how a title is drawn. Here’s how to change your theme from centre-justified to left-justified. [...]

Thomas,

I thought so, but after I took a look around and tried a few themes, I didn’t manage to get the title aligned to the left. If you know how to do this, please let me k now. :)

Thanks for stopping by.

Metacity window manager in Gnome. Window titles are displayed in the middle… There is no option to change this setting

Because it’s a theme setting. If you want Metacity not to do this, use a theme that left-justfies the title (or just modify your existing theme to do so– want me to post a howto?)

Netbeans 6.1 – they’ve done some improvements in GUI part, but during work syntax highlighters go nuts, up to losing the letters.
Glassfish Server V2 – pseudo version of a server, on pseudo XML.
JSP Container – no comments. Piece of junk which pretends to make developing “life” easier. Well, it doesn’t.

Yet more to come.. ;)
