Overview
About dwl
dwl is a compact, hackable compositor for Wayland based on wlroots. It is intended to fill the same space in the Wayland world that dwm does in X11, primarily in terms of functionality, and secondarily in terms of philosophy. Like dwm, dwl is:
- Easy to understand, hack on, and extend with patches
- One C source file (or a very small number) configurable via
config.h - Tied to as few external dependencies as possible
01
Notable features
Suckless-style dwm concepts for Wayland; configuration is compiled into the source and patches extend behavior.
