dwl is a compact, hackable compositor for Wayland based on wlroots.
|
||
|
|
It is intended to fill the same space in the Wayland world that dwm
|
||
|
|
does in X11, primarily in terms of philosophy, and secondarily in terms
|
||
|
|
of functionality. Like dwm, dwl is:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
•Easy to understand, hack on, and extend with patches
|
||
|
|
•One C source file (or a very small number) configurable via config.h
|
||
|
|
•Limited to 2000 SLOC to promote hackability
|
||
|
|
•Tied to as few external dependencies as possible
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
dwl is not meant to provide every feature under the sun.
|
||
|
|
Instead, like dwm, it sticks to features which are
|
||
|
|
necessary, simple, and straightforward to implement given the base on
|
||
|
|
which it is built. Implemented default features are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
•Any features provided by dwm/Xlib: simple window borders, tags,
|
||
|
|
keybindings, client rules, mouse move/resize. Providing a
|
||
|
|
built-in status bar is an exception to this goal, to avoid
|
||
|
|
dependencies on font rendering and/or drawing libraries when an
|
||
|
|
external bar could work well.
|
||
|
|
•Configurable multi-monitor layout support, including position and
|
||
|
|
rotation
|
||
|
|
•Configurable HiDPI/multi-DPI support
|
||
|
|
•Idle-inhibit protocol which lets applications such as mpv disable
|
||
|
|
idle monitoring
|
||
|
|
•Provide information to external status bars via stdout/stdin
|
||
|
|
•Urgency hints via xdg-activate protocol
|
||
|
|
•Support screen lockers via input-inhibitor protocol
|
||
|
|
•Various Wayland protocols
|
||
|
|
•XWayland support as provided by wlroots (can be enabled in config.mk)
|
||
|
|
•Zero flickering - Wayland users naturally expect that
|
||
|
|
"every frame is perfect"
|
||
|
|
•Layer shell popups (used by Waybar)
|
||
|
|
•Damage tracking provided by scenegraph API
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOTE: the autostart patch is enabled by default, if you need a
|
||
|
|
wallpaper modify the autostart patch file at line 23 and change
|
||
|
|
"swaybg --image /xap/local/background", NULL, to
|
||
|
|
"swaybg -i (your wallpaper path)", NULL,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to start dwl without a login manager just type dwl
|
||
|
|
If you want to start dwl with somebar launch with: dwl -s somebar
|
||
|
|
You can disable the autostart patch and use azote to have a wallpaper
|
||
|
|
like this dwl -s ~/.azotebg
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Suggested programs:
|
||
|
|
swaybg for background/wallpaper
