 ## News
-- We now have XWayland support as of [#34](https://github.com/Ottatop/pinnacle/pull/34)! It's currently not that polished right now because I got bored of working on it and I want to work on other aspects of Pinnacle, but it should be at least *usable*.
+- [Wlr-layer-shell support](https://github.com/Ottatop/pinnacle/pull/45) is now here!
+Now you can use stuff like [swaybg](https://github.com/swaywm/swaybg) so you don't have
+to look at an ugly gray background and [eww](https://github.com/elkowar/eww)
+for widgets (until I implement a widget system, that is). As always, if you find any
+issues, submit a bug report!

+Please note: this is WIP and has few options.
 
 Pinnacle supports configuration through Lua (and hopefully more languages if it's not too unwieldy :crab:).
 
 Run Pinnacle with the `PINNACLE_CONFIG` environment variable set to the path of your config file. If not specified, Pinnacle will look for the following: 
-```
+```sh
 $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pinnacle/init.lua
-~/.config/pinnacle/init.lua         // if XDG_CONFIG_HOME isn't set
+~/.config/pinnacle/init.lua         # if XDG_CONFIG_HOME isn't set
 ```
 The following will use the example config file in [`api/lua`](api/lua):
-```
+```sh
 PINNACLE_CONFIG="./api/lua/example_config.lua" cargo run -- --<backend>
 ```
 
+> ##### :information_source: The config is an external process.
+> If it crashes for whatever reason, all of your keybinds will stop working.
+> Again, you can exit the compositor with `Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Escape`.

 ### API Documentation
-There is a preliminary [doc website](https://ottatop.github.io/pinnacle/main) generated with LDoc. Do note that there are some missing things like the `Keys` table and `Layout` enum as well as any function overloads, but these should be autocompleted through the language server.

 ### Autocomplete and that cool stuff
-It is *highly* recommended to use the [Lua language server](https://github.com/LuaLS/lua-language-server) and set it up to have the [`api/lua`](api/lua) directory as a library, as I'll be using its doc comments to provide autocomplete and error checking.

 #### For VS Code:
-Install the [Lua](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sumneko.lua) plugin, then go into its settings and add the absolute(?) path to the [`api/lua`](api/lua) directory to Workspace: Library.
