XForms is a graphical user interface toolkit for X based on the X11 Xlib library. It allows you to create windows, containing all kinds of widgets (buttons, sliders, browsers, menus etc.) with a few lines of code and then attach actions to the widgets, i.e., have some function called when a button is pressed. To make this even easier XForms comes with a program called fdesign that allows you to design a GUI for a program directly on the screen and which then writes out the necessary C code for it.

Xdotool lets you simulate keyboard input and mouse activity, move and resize windows, etc. It does this using X11's XTEST extension and other Xlib functions. Additionally, you can search for windows and move, resize, hide, and modify window properties like the title. If your window manager supports it, you can use xdotool to switch desktops, move windows between desktops, and change the number of desktops.

Xdpyprobe is a tiny C program whose only purpose is to probe a connectivity of the X server running on a particular DISPLAY.

wlrctl is a command line utility for miscellaneous wlroots Wayland extensions. At this time, wlrctl supports the foreign-toplevel-mangement (window/toplevel command), virtual-keyboard (keyboard command), and virtual-pointer (pointer command) protocols.

This utility for X.org uses a modifier key as another key when pressed and released on its own. The default behaviour is to generate the Escape key when Left Control is pressed and released on its own.

xssproxy implements the org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver D-Bus interface described in the Idle Inhibition Service Draft by the freedesktop.org developers. The inhibition of the screensaver is then controlled using the XScreenSaverSuspend function from the Xss (X11 Screen Saver extension) library.

xsecurelock is an X11 screen locker which uses a modular design to avoid the usual pitfalls of screen locking utility design.

As a consequence of this design, you shouldn't use the usual screen locker service with xsecurelock. Instead, add a helper binary to your operating-system's privileged-programs field:

(privileged-programs
 (cons*
  (privileged-program
   (program (file-append xsecurelock "/libexec/xsecurelock/authproto_pam"))
   (setuid? #t))
  %default-privileged-programs))

FYI is a command line utility to send desktop notifications to the user via a notification daemon implementing XDG desktop notifications.

ARandR is designed to provide a simple visual front end for the X11 resize-and-rotate (RandR) extension. Relative monitor positions are shown graphically and can be changed in a drag-and-drop way. Configurations are saved as executable shell scripts which can be loaded without using this program.

xwhite is a command line tool for adjusting the colour balance of screen. It is based on xrandr's gamma correction and brightness adjustment. As such, it can only be used for X displays and not Wayland displays. It is typically used for tuning the color balance and color temperature. It has a similar function as redshift -P -g R:G:B -O temperature, but xwhite is more flexible in that it does not keep the white color fixed, suitable for setting the white color to an arbitrary balanced color.

This package provides an application grid, button bar, and dmenu applications for Sway and other wlroots-based Wayland compositors.

j4-dmenu-desktop is a replacement for i3-dmenu-desktop. Its purpose is to find .desktop files and offer you a menu to start an application using dmenu.

Rofi is a minimalist application launcher. It memorizes which applications you regularly use and also allows you to search for an application by name.

xcalib is a tiny tool to load the content of vcgt-Tags in ICC profiles to the video card's gamma ramp. It does work with most video card drivers except the generic VESA driver. Alter brightness, contrast, RGB, and invert colors on a specific display/screen.

Xwrits reminds you to take wrist breaks for prevention or management of repetitive stress injuries. When you should take a break, it pops up an X window, the warning window. You click on the warning window, then take a break. The window changes appearance while you take the break. It changes again when your break is over. Then you just resume typing. Xwrits hides itself until you should take another break.

CopyQ is clipboard manager with editing and scripting features. CopyQ monitors system clipboard and saves its content in customized tabs. Saved clipboard can be later copied and pasted directly into any application.

This package provides Hyprland cursor format, library and utilities.

This library implements cross-platform clipboard utilities supporting both binary and text data.

This package provides a wlroots-compatible Wayland color picker.

screen-message is a tool for displaying text on your screen. It will make the text as large as possible and display it with black color on a white background (colors are configurable on the commandline).

unclutter-xfixes is a rewrite of the popular tool unclutter, but using the x11-xfixes extension. This means that this rewrite doesn't use fake windows or pointer grabbing and hence causes less problems with window managers and/or applications.

Unclutter is a program which runs permanently in the background of an X11 session. It checks on the X11 pointer (cursor) position every few seconds, and when it finds it has not moved (and no buttons are pressed on the mouse, and the cursor is not in the root window) it creates a small sub-window as a child of the window the cursor is in. The new window installs a cursor of size 1x1 but a mask of all 0, i.e. an invisible cursor. This allows you to see all the text in an xterm or xedit, for example. The human factors crowd would agree it should make things less distracting.

Wl-clipboard is a set of command-line copy/paste utilities for Wayland.

Wofi is a launcher/menu program for wlroots based wayland compositors such as sway, similar to rofi.

autocutsel tracks changes in the server's cutbuffer and clipboard selection. When the clipboard is changed, it updates the cutbuffer. When the cutbuffer is changed, it owns the clipboard selection. The cutbuffer and clipboard selection are always synchronized.
