Overview

About LabFyre

Labwc stands for Lab Wayland Compositor, where lab can mean any of the following:

  • lightweight and *box-inspired
  • sense of experimentation and treading new ground
  • inspired by BunsenLabs and ArchLabs
  • your favorite pet

LabFyre can do all of this and more, it's a soft fork of labwc with support for shell script control, among a host of other features.

LabwFyre is a wlroots-based window-stacking and tiling compositor for Wayland, built from [labwc] and has support for Openbox themes.

It is light-weight and independent with a focus that can range from simply stacking windows well to a tiling layout and keybinds for each device and application. It still holds support for a no-bling/frills approach, yet animations are still in the works. It relies on clients for panels, screenshots, wallpapers and so on to create a full desktop environment.
