There really isn??™t much you can do with Metacity (except get your work done efficiently). Assigning
new themes to Metacity and changing colors and window decorations are done through the GNOME
preferences (and are described later). A few Metacity themes exist, but expect the number to grow.
Basic Metacity functions that might interest you are keyboard shortcuts and the workspace
switcher. Table 3-4 shows keyboard shortcuts to get around the Metacity window manager.
