[UNMAINTAINED] A pack of plugins for the Weston compositor

Weston with Extra Dip

A pack of plugins that add extra functionality to Weston, the reference Wayland compositor. Designed for the numbernine desktop environment.

• capabilities: implements capability-based access control for privileged protocols
• layer-shell: implements wlr_layer_shell_unstable_v1 (well, not completely..)
• gamma-control: implements wlr_gamma_control_unstable_v1, e.g. for this fork of redshift
• layered-screenshot: dumps surface contents as separate images, included layered-screenshooter for now just writes them as separate webp images (but in the future there might be a cool screenshot editor..)
• key-modifier-binds: xcape style key binds, currently hardcoded to CapsLock (scancode, no matter if you rebind to Ctrl or not) as Escape and Shifts as Parens
• compositor-management: notifies a manager (desktop environment) of compositor state changes, executes the manager's commands

Installation

Requires FlatBuffers, wayland-scanner, libweston-5 (Weston git master).

meson build
ninja -Cbuild install

Or e.g. If you have Weston in ~/.local:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/.local/lib/pkgconfig
meson build --prefix $HOME/.local
ninja -Cbuild install
