Johan Malm 7afc189c06 common/dir.c: do not include openbox/ dirs 
It is better to be explicit with config files and only using those
specifically intended for labwc. Whilst compatibility with openbox is
intended, there are areas where it just doesn't make sense to include
settings intended for openbox, for example in the case of
$HOME/.config/openbox/autostart

With built-in icons and theme/config settings, it should be easy for new
users to get started without spending time on config files anyway.

labwc

Labwc is a [WIP] free, stacking compositor for Wayland and has the following aims:

  • Be light-weight, small and fast
  • Have the look and feel of Openbox
  • Where practicable, use other software to show wall-paper, take screenshots, and so on

It is in early development, so expect bugs and missing features.

Dependencies

Runtime dependencies include:

  • wlroots (>=0.10.0)
  • xwayland
  • libxml2
  • cairo
  • pango

Roadmap

  • Support xwayland
  • Parse rc.xml

For further details see wiki/Roadmap.

Inspiration

Labwc has been inspired and inflenced by openbox, sway, cage, wio and rootston

Design

Labwc is based on the wlroots library.

The following were considered before choosing wlroots: qtwayland, grefsen, mir and egmde.

Configuration

See rc.xml and themerc comments for details including keybinds.

Full details in labwc(1) and labwc(5)

Suggest either copying data/rc.xml to ~/.config/labwc/running, or running with:

./build/labwc -c data/rc.xml

Integration

Suggested apps:

  • grim - screenshots

Build

meson build && ninja -C build
