Johan Malm a042aad9f6 xwl.c: only add surfaces to view-list on first map 
X11 apps produce surfaces which are never mapped. Excluding these from
the view-list simplifices the code.

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

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:
