Hi everybody..
After some testing on interfaces user like gnome-shell or moblin, I was
really interest by windows manager layer. It seems that both of them use
mutter(clutter + metacity). In fact gnome-shell and moblin are mutter
plugin.
So I wonder if there is any tutorial to create a mutter plugin from
scratch.
Should I get mutter sources and start from here? Or is there another way
to create my own mutter plugin? I have already browse mutter-moblin
sources but I'm a bit lost.
There is no tutorial for this; src/compositor/plugins/default.c is a
basic plugin that demonstrates the simple plugin API, and is a good
place to start.
Both gnome-shell and mutter-moblin go well beyond using the basic plugin
interface, and to create a plugin of similar complexity you will need
good understanding of window management under X in general and of
Mutter, which exposes large number APIs, either directly or through
GObject mechanisms, that the plugins can tap into.
