Labwc is a wlroots-based stacking compositor for Wayland. Labwc is a wlroots-based stacking compositor for Wayland.
It has the following aims: It aims to be light-weight and independent, with a focus on simply
stacking windows well. Where practicable, clients will be used for such
things as wall-paper, panels and screenshots.

[Video (3:42) showing features](https://youtu.be/rE1bQjSVJzg) In order to avoid re-inventing configuration syntax and theme variable
names, [openbox-3.4] specification is used. This does not mean that
labwc is an openbox clone. In fact, as a Wayland compositor it will be
quite different in areas, and the [acceptance criteria] only lists ca
40% of openbox features.

so using the much simpler openbox specification makes sense for a
simple compositor such as labwc.
