It implements the compositor side of the Wayland core protocol +as well as various protocol extensions. It also has functionality +related to running X11 applications using Xwayland. + +When used on top of Xorg it acts as a X11 window manager and compositing +manager. It contains functionality related to, among other things, +window management, window compositing, focus tracking, workspace +management, keybindings and monitor configuration. + +Internally it uses a fork of Cogl, a hardware acceleration abstraction +library used to simplify usage of OpenGL pipelines, as well as a fork of +Clutter, a scene graph and user interface toolkit. + +Mutter is used by, for example, GNOME Shell, the GNOME core user +interface, and by Gala, elementary OS's window manager. It can also be +run standalone, using the command "mutter", but just running plain +mutter is only intended for debugging purposes. |
