=== Switch to Metacity window manager ===
Sugar has [[Features/Metacity|switched]] from Matchbox to a new window manager, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacity 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.

Matchbox was designed for small devices; it forces ''all'' applications to run maximized. Sugar can be run on devices with much larger screens, and 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 (e.g. Inkscape, Gimp). We endeavour to ensure that "traditional" desktop applications run well in Sugar, without requiring programming or behavioural changes.
