# NAME
labwc - A Wayland stacking compositor
# SYNOPSIS
*labwc*  [options...] [command]
# DESCRIPTION
2021-04-10 09:19:35 +01:00
Labwc is a wlroots-based stacking compositor for Wayland.
It aims to be light-weight and independent, with a focus on simply
stacking windows well and rendering some window decorations. Where
practicable, it uses clients for wall-paper, panels, screenshots, and so
on.

# CONFIGURATION AND THEMING
Labwc uses openbox specification for configuration and theming, but does not
support all options. The the following files control the look and behaviour:
- ~/.config/labwc/rc.xml
- ~/.config/labwc/menu.xml
- ~/.config/labwc/autostart
- ~/.config/labwc/environment
- ~/.themes/<name>/openbox-3/themerc
Equivalent XDG Base Directory Specification locations are also honoured.
The configuration file and theme are re-loaded on receiving signal SIGHUP.
The autostart file is executed as a shell script. This is a place for setting a
background image, launching a panel, or similar.
The environment file is parsed as <variable>=<value> and sets environment
variables accordingly. It is recommended to specify keyboard settings here, for
example: `XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT=gb`. See xkeyboard-config(7) for details. Note
that the environment file is treated differently by openbox where it is simply
sourced prior to running openbox.
