Way Cooler
Way Cooler is the compositor component of AwesomeWM for Wayland.
Building
To build Way Cooler, ensure you have meson installed
(as well as wlroots, or use the subprojects/ directory
and build it locally).
Then, execute:
meson build
ninja -C build
To run the compositor simply execute build/way-cooler/way-cooler in a TTY or
any existing window manager.
It can run with this patched version of the Awesome
client. The simplest way to execute both
is to run way-cooler -c </path/to/patched/awesome>.
Though technically they can run standalone, the compositor is not usable by
itself and the client will fail out in other compositor due to the custom
protocols not being present.
Development
Way Cooler is under active development. If you would like to contribute you can
contact me best on IRC (I also hang out on freenode).
Master is not usable for production. There are old versions of Way Cooler
that do work, however:
