README.md: tone down no-frills statement
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Features such as icons, gradients and drop-shadows were declined in the
early phases of the project to focus on designing the fundamental building
blocks well without pressure to implement additional features which may
have compromised good design decisions.

As a core team we are not against these features per se other than when
they sacrifice the ability to run well on low spec hardware, or
disproportionately increase code complexity and long term maintenance
burden.

It is light-weight and independent with a focus on simply stacking windows well
and rendering some window decorations. It takes a no-bling/frills approach and
says no to features such as icons (except window buttons), animations,
decorative gradients and any other options not required to reasonably render
common themes. It relies on clients for panels, screenshots, wallpapers and so
on to create a full desktop environment.

Labwc tries to stay in keeping with [wlroots] and [sway] in terms of general
approach and coding style.
