Instead, like dwm, it s - Any features provided by dwm/Xlib: simple window borders, tags, keybindings, client rules, mouse move/resize. Providing a built-in status bar is an exception to this goal, to avoid dependencies on font rendering and/or drawing libraries when an external bar could work well. - Configurable multi-monitor layout support, including position and rotation - Configurable HiDPI/multi-DPI support +- Provide information to external status bars via stdout/stdin - Various Wayland protocols -- XWayland support as provided by wlroots +- XWayland support as provided by wlroots (can be enabled in `config.mk`) - Zero flickering - Wayland users naturally expect that "every frame is perfect" Features under consideration (possibly as patches) are: - Protocols made trivial by wlroots -- Provide information to external status bars via stdout or another file descriptor +- Implement urgent/focus-request once the xdg-activation protocol [hits wlroots](https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/pull/2718) - Implement the input-inhibitor protocol to support screen lockers - Implement the idle-inhibit protocol which lets applications such as mpv disable idle monitoring - Layer shell popups (used by Waybar) - Basic yes/no damage tracking to avoid needless redraws - More in-depth damage region tracking ([which may improve power usage](https://mozillagfx.wordpress.com/2019/10/22/dramatically-reduced-power-usage-in-firefox-70-on-macos-with-core-animation/)) - Implement the text-input and input-method protocols to support IME once ibus implements input-method v2 (see https://github.com/ibus/ibus/pull/2256 and https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/pull/12) -- Implement urgent/attention/focus-request once it's part of the xdg-shell protocol (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/9) -Feature *non-goals* include: +Feature *non-goals* for the main codebase include: - Client-side decoration (any more than is necessary to tell the clients not to) - Client-initiated window management, such as move, resize, and close, which can be done through the compositor +- Animations and visual effects ## Building dwl |
