Metisse is a 2.5D desktop environment. More specifically, it is a X window manager with many features that set it apart from the traditional 3D "cube" workspace. Windows can be turned 3 dimensionally in any direction, enabling the user to fit more windows onto a screen, and they can be scaled, all while remaining fully operational. The development team has avoided such effects as wobbly windows, giving functionality and productivity higher priority than eye candy.
Metisse is available for Linux, FreeBSD and Mac OS X as free and open-source software subject to the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).
The project has not been in active development since 2010.
Métisse is an Irish/ African soul/ electronica band, formed by former Chapter House member Skully, and Aïda Bredou, a singer/choreographer from Côte d'Ivoire. They formed in Toulouse, France. The band's name is the French word for 'mixture', and its music is a mix of African, Celtic, soul and electronic music. Song lyrics often feature a mixture of Dioula, English and French words.
The band achieved initial success with the single "Sousoundé". Its next hit, "Boom Boom Bâ" was the featured title track in Madonna's film The Next Best Thing and was played several times in the Showtime TV series Dead Like Me. It is also in heavy rotation on the international radio program ' Coast to Coast AM', whenever founder Art Bell makes one of his rare appearances. In addition, "Nomah's Land" was played in the Dead Like Me second season episode "The Shallow End".
They released two new singles in 2013, "You Are Beautiful" and "I See People".
Métisse's music has been licensed for numerous television, film productions and advertising campaigns. They have two albums, My Fault and Nomah's Land, though their music has been licensed for several compilation discs.
