Metisse is a 2.5D desktop environment. Metisse is available as a X window manager. It has 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. Metisse attempts to avoid using effects such as wobbly windows, the development team giving functionality and productivity higher priority than eye-candy.
Metisse is available for at least Mandriva One 2007, PCLinuxOS 2007, Sabayon Linux, Arch Linux, and FreeBSD.
Metisse is free and open-source software subject to the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).

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.
One heart of fire, another made of ice
What I once I though was true, has shown to be lies
I know you've been mistreated
You have been hurt
But treating me this way
Won't take away your pain
No tears, I'll cry for you
Although my heart's bleeding
I won't shed a drop
'Cause you are no worth it
You are nothing to me
Shed no tears
My life is passion, your life is full of rules
You think that passion's something made just for fools
[A:] There's nothing more to say now
[S:] Nothing to say
[A:] You've had your chance
[S:] You've had your chance
[A:] You threw away the key that opens up my heart
[S:] My heart
No tears, I'll cry for you
Although my heart's bleeding
I won't shed a drop
'Cause you are no worth it
You are nothing to me
Shed no tears
[SOLO]
No tears, I'll cry for you
Although my heart's bleeding
I won't shed a drop
'Cause you are no worth it
You are nothing to me
Shed no tears.
