Mutter is a Wayland display server and X11 window manager and compositor
|
||
|
|
library.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When used as a Wayland display server, it runs on top of KMS and
|
||
|
|
libinput. It implements the compositor side of the Wayland core protocol
|
||
|
|
as well as various protocol extensions. It also has functionality
|
||
|
|
related to running X11 applications using Xwayland.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When used on top of Xorg it acts as a X11 window manager and compositing
|
||
|
|
manager. It contains functionality related to, among other things,
|
||
|
|
window management, window compositing, focus tracking, workspace
|
||
|
|
management, keybindings and monitor configuration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Internally it uses a fork of Cogl, a hardware acceleration abstraction
|
||
|
|
library used to simplify usage of OpenGL pipelines, as well as a fork of
|
||
|
|
Clutter, a scene graph and user interface toolkit.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mutter is used by, for example, GNOME Shell, the GNOME core user
|
||
|
|
interface, and by Gala, elementary OS's window manager. It can also be
|
||
|
|
run standalone, using the command "mutter", but just running plain
|
||
|
|
mutter is only intended for debugging purposes.
