Labwc is a [WIP] free, stacking compositor for Wayland based on wlroots.
|

|
||||
It has the following aims:
|
||||
|
||||
- Be light-weight, small and fast
|
||||
- Have the look and feel of [openbox](https://github.com/danakj/openbox)

Labwc has been inspired and influenced by [openbox](https://github.com/danakj/openbox), [sway](https://github.com/swaywm/sway), [cage](https://www.hjdskes.nl/blog/cage-01/), [wio](https://wio-project.org/) and [rootston](https://github.com/swaywm/rootston)

## 6. Roadmap
|
||||
|
||||
No acceptance criteria exists, but the following list indicates the inteded high level roadmap:
|
||||
|
||||
- [x] Support xwayland
|
||||
- [x] Parse ~/.config/labwc/{rc.xml,autostart,environment}
|
||||
- [x] Parse /usr/share/themes/`<name>`/openbox-3/themerc and associated xbm icons
|
||||
- [x] Parse openbox config files (rc.xml, autostart, environment)
|
||||
- [x] Parse openbox themes and associated xbm icons
|
||||
- [x] Show maximize, iconify, close buttons
|
||||
- [x] Catch SIGHUP to re-load config file and theme
|
||||
- [x] Support layer-shell protocol (partial)
|
||||
- [x] Support layer-shell protocol ('exclusive' not yet implemented)
|
||||
- [ ] Support root-menu and parse menu.xml (very simple implementation, not submenus yet)
|
||||
- [ ] Support 'maximize'
|
||||
- [ ] Support wlr-output-management protocol and [kanshi](https://github.com/emersion/kanshi.git)
|
||||
- [ ] Show window title
|
||||
- [ ] Support foreign-toplevel protocol (e.g. to integrate with wlroots panels/bars)
|
||||
- [ ] Support damage control to reduce CPU usage
|
||||
- [ ] Support damage tracking to reduce CPU usage
|
||||
- [ ] Implement client-menu
|
||||
- [ ] Implement root-menu
|
||||
- [ ] Support on-screen display (OSD), for example to support alt-tab window list
|
||||
- [ ] Support [kanshi](https://github.com/emersion/kanshi.git)
|
||||
- [ ] Support on-screen display (osd), for example to support alt-tab window list

|
||||
|
||||
Based on development so far, it looks like only a modest fraction of all theme and configuration options are required to adequately render most common themes and provide a pretty openbox-like experience.
|
||||
## 7. Out-of-scope
|
||||
|
||||
It is likely that only a subset of the full specification will be implemented in order to keep the code base simpler and cleaner.
|
||||
In order to keep the code base clean and maintainable, simplicy is favoured over full specification adherence.
|
||||
|
||||
The following items are out-of-scope:
|
||||
|
||||
- Icons (except window buttons)
|
||||
- Animations
|
||||
- Gradients on window decorations and menus
|
||||
- Any theme option (probably at least half of them) not required to reasonably render common themes
|
||||
- Any configuration option not required to provide a simple openbox-like experience
|
||||
- Multiple desktops
