Some window border theme options load image files to draw the window border. Other options use simpler techniques to draw the window border.
The Crux window border option loads image files and can be slow on systems with limited CPU resources. To reduce CPU usage, use one of the following window border options:
Atlanta
Esco
AgingGorilla
Bright
Metabox
To change the window border theme option, type the following command:
# gconftool-2 --type string \ --set /apps/metacity/general/theme option-name
For example, to use Atlanta, type the following command:
# gconftool-2 --type string \ --set /apps/metacity/general/theme Atlanta
Alternatively, you can use the Theme preference tool to select the appropriate option.
