=== Switch to Metacity window manager ===
Sugar has [[Features/Metacity|switched]] window manager from Matchbox to Metacity. Matchbox was designed for small devices that run all applications maximized. Sugar can run on devices with larger screens, and some of the more complicated applications (not specifically designed for Sugar) can behave in unexpected ways when run with Matchbox. Switching to Metacity instead means that some unsugarized applications will run better inside Sugar. This effort is a part of our endeavour to ensure that "traditional" desktop applications run well in Sugar, without requiring any kind of programming or behavioural changes.

Sugar has [[Features/Metacity|switched]] from Matchbox to a new window manager, Metacity. Matchbox was designed for small devices; it forces ''all'' applications to run maximized. Sugar can run on devices with larger screens. While activities native to Sugar are designed to be run maximized (full screen), some applications not specifically designed for Sugar can behave in unexpected ways when run with Matchbox. The switch to Metacity means that many "unsugarized" applications will run better inside of Sugar. We endeavour to ensure that "traditional" desktop applications run well in Sugar, without requiring programming or behavioural changes.
