labwc test #2563
Comments
|
If wlroots and labwc are built with Xwayland support, urxvt should work just fine, but then, you'd have to run |
|
I left off Xwayland support, on purpose - just for the exercise. |
|
So you'll see #2560 a lot :) I want to dedicate next week to an attempt to make Cage more similar to labwc: implement floating windows, but with JWM-like borders. When that is done, I want to get swaybg and some GTK+ 3 based panel+menu combo to work. |
|
Does #2534 reproduce under labwc? Maybe Cage's lack of support for the pointer constraints protocol is responsible for this. |
Running now with hacked Yes that bug #2560 is persistent, apparent in
Not much of a gamer 😨 here, but I can probably test it this weekend. |
|
Just leaving this wallpaper setter here - uses Updated in below post.
|
|
labwc is great as reference code! My compositor draws JWM-like borders (with pixman for gradients) and Alt-Tab works. The next step is to make the title buttons work 👍🏿
|
|
Close, maximize and minimize buttons work now :) Here's Xwayland running as a window under the yet-to-be-named compositor, with JWM under Xwayland:
|
Great job! I like labwc, quite well organised IMO. I've found a work-around, albeit very clumsy, for #2560 It involves
side-note: Also ditched |
|
I'll put this here too, syntax for moving multi monitors with Doesn't work in my autostart config (part of labwc), too early I think so I'll make another script for that. EDIT |

Some wayland friendly wwals - wayland compositor wallpaper setter New code in post below
- supports multi monitors with separate images
- shebang now #!/bin/bash - contains bashisms
- refactor and clean up code
- main guis moved to functionsimgview - image viewer (part of woof and still works in X) #!/bin/bash
# a simple image viewer using gtkdialog and bash

Great to see you here, @johanmalm! Puppy needs a Wayland replacement for JWM (https://joewing.net/projects/jwm/) and labwc is definitely the top contender. |
|
Yes slackware64-current.
Thanks! It needs to handle multiple monitors, that's the next thing. |
|
Greetings to you both. Yes - I've run both jwm and openbox over years. I like traditional stacking managers, but find mutter/kwin/etc too heavy and too dependent on their respective eco-systems. I'm trying to just focus on the labwc "Acceptance Criteria". I suspect it'll take a long time to reach the stability of openbox, but I've used it as my daily driver for quite some time. |
|
For wwals I had to build gtkdialog and change the path (/usr/share/backgrounds) - but otherwise it worked out of the box for me (on Arch Linux with a modest wayland setup). |
I'm not familiar with https://github.com/johanmalm/labwc-tweaks/blob/2f7cd9c4f84461bfb3148b73aab00560a2bdce9f/main.c#L25 |

New code for wwals - now supporting multi monitors At first run no need to edit the script, just run Only tested with 1 and 2 screens but should work with any number greater than 2. I originally designed this GUI about 4 or 5 years ago when I picked up an old acer w500 iconia tablet. It worked ok with the touch interface. Only the backend has changed to suit wlroots based compositors. It probably needs a bit more dialog for better UX, just to inform the user what is going on. Maybe one day. At the moment it does exactly what I want. wwals

It's a great script. Is it worth putting it in a git repo online so that people can clone it? I had to make the following tweaks to make it work. and |
Yes I think I will put it in a gist with your tweaks. I do intend to support |
|
Running Yambar. I just can't figure out how to start it on the correct screen! I need to make sure that the cursor is at less than half my overall width.How? My overall res across both screens is 3840 x 1080. |
|
Ah - I've discovered the same issue. It's a short-coming in the layer-shell implementation. I was trying to fix it last night but got stuck. Will be sorted 😄 |
|
@johanmalm - gist is created EDIT: I did it the other way around - I removed non-essential externals but haven't yet implemented |
|
yambar - the puppy icon is 'A' from
RHS
|
I have fixed a few layer-shell short-comings now. Config file below show how to specify a monitor (eDP-1 in this example) |
Would you mind sharing the config for that? |

That at least made the bar start correctly - before it wasn't accepting mouse input.

How hard would it be to adapt the JWM menu generator to generate a labwc menu? 🤔 If labwc can replace JWM's window management and yambar can replace the panels, the only missing piece for a pure Wayland desktop is the menu. |
Haha! 👅 |
|
There is always jgmenu - although not designed for wayland. Not sure how much work is involved in supporting XGrabKeybaord() et al. And there is https://github.com/nwg-piotr/nwg-launchers Where is the source code for pupmenu? Is it GTK3? Is it a long-running application or do you start a new instance every time you run it? |
|
submenus are working now 😸 recording.mp4 |
|
@01micko Looks great! |
|
All the basics are pretty much in place now. Just need to develop a few user friendly apps and work on some mouse bindings for Then I have to develop the startup/shutdown routines as well as weed out apps that simply don't work under pure wayland/wlroots. Also, adding gtk-layer-shell to Then, an alpha for release might be ready 🤣 |
I was thinking, maybe I should implement the layer shell protocol in Cage. Then, I can write a simple GTK+ 3 panel that resembles JWM's tray (using https://github.com/wmww/gtk-layer-shell) and menu (using code borrowed from the menu generator), then replace JWM's tray and right-click menu with it. With a setup like this, Cage will have two windows: a fullscreen Xwayland window, and a thin panel window which is always above it (a window in the overlay layer, anchored to the top, etc'). We'll be able to use this panel+menu thingy with labwc, to mimic Puppy's traditional desktop more closely. |

In openbox, there is http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Actions#ShowMenu which let’s the user specify the position of the menu. |

Just leaving this here. lizzy.mp4 |

@01micko After #2610 and #2611, it should be possible to add a labwc petbuild alongside the Cage one, and start working on labwc vs. X separation (i.e. stuff like starting labwc via ~/.profile, calling .xinitrc when the compositor starts, skipping xorgwizard, fixing the graphics wizard, and so on). There's a branch that fixes #2611, which updates wlroots to master (as of yesterday), as a placeholder for the 0.15.0 release. We can merge it now and update wlroots as needed (until the 0.15.0 release), so we can start working on integrating labwc even before the release. |

I think |

Happy to upversion against a particular wlroots commit, but unless there is a particular request for it, I'll wait until wlroots 0.15.0 is released. |

Discussion moved to #2617 |
Since we have been having fun with wayland I thought I'd try labwc
Took 10 minutes to build after I figured out the root patch - same as cage.
Runs straight from urxvt when the desktop is under cage because all the environment is set up. To run from console I'd have to hack start xwayland I suppose.
Anyway - a video!
I now need a terminal emulator - havoc looks good.
