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 philosophy, and secondarily in terms of functionality. Like dwm, dwl is easy to understand and hack on, due to a limited size and a few external dependencies. It is configurable via config.h.

Wlclock is a digital analog clock for Wayland desktops. wlclock is inspired by xclock and the default configuration has been chosen to mimic it. However unlike xclock, wlclock is not a regular window but a desktop-widget. A Wayland compositor must implement the Layer-Shell and XDG-Output for wlclock to work.

This package allows you to interact from a Python program with the i3 window manager via its IPC socket. It can send commands and other kinds of messages to i3, select the affected containers, filter results and subscribe to events.

This StumpWM module puts the hostname in the StumpWM modeline.

Stumpwm is a window manager written entirely in Common Lisp. It attempts to be highly customizable while relying entirely on the keyboard for input. These design decisions reflect the growing popularity of productive, customizable lisp based systems.

Kanshi allows you to define output profiles that are automatically enabled and disabled on hotplug. Kanshi can be used with Wayland compositors supporting the wlr-output-management protocol.

XNotify receives a notification specification in stdin and shows a notification for the user on the screen.

Quickshell is a flexible QtQuick-based toolkit for creating and customizing toolbars, notification centers, and other desktop environment tools in a live programming environment.

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).

Modeline support for memory info.

wlopm is a simple client implementing zwlr-output-power-management-v1, which allows clients to control power management modes of outputs that are currently part of the compositor space. This allows wlopm to power down outputs when the system is idle.

This package provides an autostarter complaint with the XDG Autostart specification.

libucl implements a configuration language that is easy to read and write, and compatible with JSON.

wmenu is a dynamic menu for Wayland, which reads a list of newline-separated items from stdin. When the user selects an item and presses Return, their choice is printed to stdout and wmenu terminates. Entering text will narrow the items to those matching the tokens in the input.

Script for Sway and i3 to automatically switch the horizontal/vertical window split orientation.

wlroots is a set of pluggable, composable, unopinionated modules for building a Wayland compositor.

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.

Xmonad is a tiling window manager for X. Windows are arranged automatically to tile the screen without gaps or overlap, maximising screen use. All features of the window manager are accessible from the keyboard: a mouse is strictly optional. Xmonad is written and extensible in Haskell. Custom layout algorithms, and other extensions, may be written by the user in config files. Layouts are applied dynamically, and different layouts may be used on each workspace. Xinerama is fully supported, allowing windows to be tiled on several screens.

Modeline support for wifi connectivity.

Avizo is a simple notification daemon for Sway, mainly intended to be used for multimedia keys.

Simple X11 screen locker with transparent blurring background developed alongside the i3 project. Despite the name it should work with any X11 window manager.

Spectrwm is a small dynamic tiling and reparenting window manager for X11. It is inspired by Xmonad and dwm. Its major features include:

• Navigation anywhere on all screens with either the keyboard or mouse

• Customizable status bar

• Restartable without losing state

• Quick launch menu

• Many screen layouts possible with a few simple key strokes

• Move/resize floating windows

• Extended Window Manager Hints (EWMH) support

• Configurable tiling

• Adjustable tile gap allows for a true one pixel border

• Customizable colors and border width

Awesome has been designed as a framework window manager. It is fast, small, dynamic and extensible using the Lua programming language.

Obconf is a tool for configuring the Openbox window manager. You can configure its appearance, themes, and much more.
