<para>
Matchbox window manager keeps a cached pixel representation of a
single, text free, application window title bar decoration image.
This is needed for the compositing of button images and as a
performance optimisation.
</para>
<para>
This caching can be disabled if; your main window title bar theme
consists of a single or few images, and any titlebar button images do
not contain an alpha component. To disable, add a cache attribute set
to false to your root theme.xml tag;

<programlisting>
&lt;theme cache="false" ... /&gt;

By setting the enviromental variable MB_THEME_ALWAYS_CACHE this
attribute can be overidden and always ignored.

This functionality should be considered experimental. Memory, in bytes, saved approximates <emphasis>width x height x display bytes per pixel</emphasis> of you application window title bar decoration only.
