schickst / waybox

Waybox is a Wayland Compositor based on wlroots written in Rust

• 👋 Hi, I’m @schickst
• 👀 I’m interested in Rust, C#, Software Architecture, and everything related to performance (async, concurrency, ...)
• 🌱 I’m currently learning to work with huge legacy systems and in my free time adavanced rust
• 💞️ I’m looking to collaborate on ...

waybox's Issues

Implement right-click menu

Fluxbox has a right-click menu with common programs and actions. Implement a configurable menu similar to fluxbox.

swaybg not working

When executing swaybg to set a background an error gets thrown

Missing a required Wayland Interface

See swaybg/main.c:521

Probably
wlr-layer-shell-unstable-v1-client-protocol.h
xdg-output-unstable-v1-client-protocol.h
need to be implemented

Implement window positioning and resizing

Currently it is not possible to move windows around or resize them

Multiple backends/Backend agnostic

Research ways to make the compositor backend agnostic. In an ideal world it would be possible to use wlroots or smithay as backend in an interchangeable way.

Execution with smithay crashes when closing window

Why not use Smithay?

Why not use Smithay to ensure that everything is written in Rust?
