swc is a small Wayland compositor implemented as a library.

It has been designed primarily with tiling window managers in mind. Additionally, notable features include:

• Easy to follow code base

• XWayland support

• Can place borders around windows

shaderbg lets you render shaders as wallpapers. It works on Wayland compositors supporting the wlr-layer-shell protocol.

Polybar aims to help users build beautiful and highly customizable status bars for their desktop environment. It has built-in functionality to display information about the most commonly used services.

This package provides wl-mirror, a solution to sway's lack of output mirroring by mirroring an output onto a client surface. It has the following features:

• Mirror an output onto a resizable window.

• Mirror an output onto another output by fullscreening the window.

• React to changes in output scale (including fractional scaling).

• Preserve aspect ratio.

• Correct flipped or rotated outputs.

• Custom flips or rotations.

• Mirror custom regions of outputs.

• Receive additional options on stdin for changing the mirrored screen or region on the fly.

This StumpWM module can take screenshots and store them as PNG files.

i3blocks executes your command lines and generates a status line from their output. The generated line is meant to be displayed by the i3 window manager through its i3bar component, as an alternative to i3status.

Labwc is lightweight and independent with a focus on simply stacking windows well and rendering some window decorations, it is inspired by Openbox. It takes a no-bling/frills approach and says no to features such as icons (except window buttons), animations, decorative gradients and any other options not required to reasonably render common themes. It relies on clients for panels, screenshots, wallpapers and so on to create a full desktop environment.

Labwc tries to stay in keeping with wlroots and sway in terms of general approach and coding style.

Labwc has no reliance on any particular Desktop Environment, Desktop Shell or session. Nor does it depend on any UI toolkits such as Qt or GTK.

papersway is an implementation of scrollable window management like gnome-shell-extension-paperwm for sway and i3-wm. If you like sway and i3-wm's commitments to stability, avoiding scope creep etc., but dislike the window management model, papersway might be of interest.

herbstluftwm is a manual tiling window manager for X11 using Xlib and GLib. Its main features are:

• The layout is based on splitting frames into subframes which can be split again or can be filled with windows (similar to i3 or musca).

• Tags (or workspaces or virtual desktops or …) can be added/removed at runtime. Each tag contains an own layout.

• Exactly one tag is viewed on each monitor. The tags are monitor independent (similar to Xmonad).

• It is configured at runtime via IPC calls from herbstclient. So the configuration file is just a script which is run on startup (similar to wmii or musca).

This module connects to the i3 window manager using the UNIX socket based IPC interface it provides (if enabled in the configuration file). You can then subscribe to events or send messages and receive their replies.

MJWM can create JWM's menu from (freedesktop) desktop files and the generated file can be include in the rootmenu section of your jwm config file.

xmobar is a lightweight, text-based, status bar written in Haskell. It was originally designed to be used together with Xmonad, but it is also usable with any other window manager. While xmobar is written in Haskell, no knowledge of the language is required to install and use it.

Custom module for waybar to show CPU usage as a histogram. A compact way to see how many cores are active, compared to having a bar for each core/thread.

This StumpWM module puts the hostname in the StumpWM modeline.

IceWM is a window manager for the X Window System. The goal of IceWM is speed, simplicity, and not getting in the user’s way. It comes with a taskbar with pager, global and per-window keybindings and a dynamic menu system. Application windows can be managed by keyboard and mouse. Windows can be iconified to the taskbar, to the tray, to the desktop or be made hidden. They are controllable by a quick switch window (Alt+Tab) and in a window list. A handful of configurable focus models are menu-selectable. Setups with multiple monitors are supported by RandR and Xinerama. IceWM is very configurable, themeable and well documented. It includes an optional external background wallpaper manager with transparency support, a simple session manager and a system tray.

wld is a drawing library that targets Wayland.

A drop-in replacement for the wlroots scene API that allows wayland compositors to render surfaces with eye-candy effects.

StumpWM modeline support to show disk usage

Niri is a scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor which arranges windows in a scrollable format. It is considered stable for daily use and performs most functions expected of a Wayland compositor.

Wallpaper utility for Sway with support for per-workspace configuration.

Modeline support for memory info.

Keybinder is a library for registering global keyboard shortcuts. Keybinder works with GTK-based applications using the X Window System.

Cwm is a stacking window manager for X11. It is an OpenBSD project derived from the original Calm Window Manager.

Hyprland is a dynamic tiling Wayland compositor that doesn't sacrifice on its looks.
