# dwl - dwm for Wayland
dwl is a compact, hackable compositor for Wayland based on [wlroots](https://github.com/swaywm/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:

dwl is a compact, hackable compositor for Wayland based on [wlroots](https://github.com/swaywm/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, hack on, and extend with patches
- One C source file (or a very small number) configurable via `config.h`
- Limited to a maximum number of SLOC (to be determined)
- Limited to 2000 SLOC to promote hackability
- Tied to as few external dependencies as possible
dwl is not meant to provide every feature under the sun. Instead, like dwm, it sticks to features which are necessary, simple, and straightforward to implement given the base on which it is built. Implemented default features are:
dwl is not meant to provide every feature under the sun. Instead, like dwm, it sticks to features which are necessary, simple, and straightforward to implement given the base on which it is built. Since wlroots provides a number of features that are more complicated to accomplish with Xlib and select extensions, dwl can be in some ways more featureful than dwm *while remaining just as simple.* Intended default features are:
- Any features provided by dwm/Xlib: simple window borders, tags, keybindings, client rules, mouse move/resize (see below for why the built-in status bar is a possible exception)
- Any features provided by dwm/Xlib: simple window borders, tags, keybindings, client rules, mouse move/resize. The built-in status bar is an exception to avoid taking a dependency on FreeType or Pango and increasing the SLOC
- Configurable multi-monitor layout support, including position and rotation
- Configurable HiDPI/multi-DPI support
- Wayland protocols needed for daily life in the tiling world: at a minimum, xdg-shell and layer-shell (for bars/menus). Protocols trivially provided by wlroots may also be added.
- Various Wayland protocols
- XWayland support as provided by wlroots
- Zero flickering - Wayland users naturally expect that "every frame is perfect"
- Basic yes/no damage tracking to avoid needless redraws (if it can be done simply and has an impact on power consumption)
Features under consideration (possibly as patches) are:
Other features under consideration are:
- Additional Wayland compositor protocols which are trivially provided by wlroots or can be conditionally included via `config.h` settings (e.g. screen capture)
- External bar support instead of a built-in status bar, to avoid taking a dependency on FreeType or Pango
- Buffering of input when spawning a client so you don't have to wait for the window (use `wl_client_get_credentials` to get the PID) - would this require passing through something like dmenu? Extension protocol?
- More in-depth damage region tracking
- Protocols made trivial by wlroots
- Communication from the compositor to status bars. A straightforward possibility would be to use stdout or a provided file descriptor.
- Implement the input-inhibitor protocol to support screen lockers
- Implement the idle-inhibit protocol which lets applications such as mpv disable idle monitoring
- Layer shell popups (used by Waybar)
- Basic yes/no damage tracking to avoid needless redraws
- More in-depth damage region tracking ([which may improve power usage](https://mozillagfx.wordpress.com/2019/10/22/dramatically-reduced-power-usage-in-firefox-70-on-macos-with-core-animation/))
- Implement the text-input and input-method protocols to support IME once ibus implements input-method v2 (see https://github.com/ibus/ibus/pull/2256 and https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/pull/12)
- Implement urgent/attention/focus-request once it's part of the xdg-shell protocol (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/9)
Feature *non-goals* include:
- Client-side decoration (any more than is necessary to tell the clients not to)
- Client-initiated window management, such as move, resize, and close, which can be done through the compositor
## Building dwl
dwl has only two dependencies: wlroots (git version currently required) and wayland-protocols. Simply install these and run `make`.
dwl has only two dependencies: wlroots-git and wayland-protocols. Simply install these and run `make`.
To enable XWayland, you should also install xorg-xwayland and uncomment its flag in `config.mk`.
## Configuration
All configuration is done by editing `config.h` and recompiling, in the same manner as dwm. There is no way to separately restart the window manager in Wayland without restarting the entire display server, so any changes will take effect the next time dwl is executed.

As in the dwm community, we encourage users to share patches they have created. Check out the [patches page on our wiki](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/wiki/Patches)!
## Running dwl
dwl can be run as-is, with no arguments. In an existing Wayland or X11 session, this will open a window to act as a virtual display. When run from a TTY, the Wayland server will take over the entire virtual terminal. Clients started by dwl will have `WAYLAND_DISPLAY` set in their environment, and other clients can be started from outside the session by setting this variable accordingly.

Clients started by dwl will have `WAYLAND_DISPLAY` set in their environment, and other clients can be started from outside the session by setting this variable accordingly.
You can also specify a startup program using the `-s` option. The argument to this option will be run at startup as a shell command (using `sh -c`) and can serve a similar function to `.xinitrc`: starting a service manager or other startup applications. Unlike `.xinitrc`, the display server will not shut down when this process terminates. Instead, as dwl is shutting down, it will send this process a SIGTERM and wait for it to terminate (if it hasn't already). This makes it ideal not only for initialization but also for execing into a user-level service manager like s6 or `systemd --user`.
More/less verbose output can be requested with flags as well:
* `-q`: quiet (log level WLR_SILENT)
* `-v`: verbose (log level WLR_INFO)
* `-d`: debug (log level WLR_DEBUG)

This makes it ideal not only for initialization but also for execing into a user-level service manager like s6 or `systemd --user`.
Note: Wayland requires a valid `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`, which is usually set up by a session manager such as `elogind` or `systemd-logind`. If your system doesn't do this automatically, you will need to configure it prior to launching `dwl`, e.g.:
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/xdg-runtime-$(id -u)
mkdir -p $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
## Replacements for X applications
## Known limitations and issues
You can find a [list of Wayland applications on the sway wiki](https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/i3-Migration-Guide).
dwl is a work in progress, and it has not yet reached its feature goals in a number of ways:
- A window's texture is scaled for its "home" monitor only (noticeable when window sits across a monitor boundary)
- XWayland support is new and could use testing
- Urgent/attention/focus-request ([not yet supported](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/9) by xdg-shell protocol)
- Statusbar support (built-in or external)
- layer-shell
- Damage tracking

## Acknowledgements
dwl began by extending the TinyWL example provided (CC0) by the sway/wlroots developers. This was made possible in many cases by looking at how sway accomplished something, then trying to do the same in as suckless a way as possible. Speaking of which, many thanks to suckless.org and the dwm developers and community for the inspiration.

<description summary="create surfaces that are layers of the desktop">
Clients can use this interface to assign the surface_layer role to
wl_surfaces. Such surfaces are assigned to a "layer" of the output and
rendered with a defined z-depth respective to each other. They may also be
anchored to the edges and corners of a screen and specify input handling

Create a layer surface for an existing surface. This assigns the role of
layer_surface, or raises a protocol error if another role is already
assigned.
Creating a layer surface from a wl_surface which has a buffer attached
or committed is a client error, and any attempts by a client to attach
or manipulate a buffer prior to the first layer_surface.configure call
must also be treated as errors.
After creating a layer_surface object and setting it up, the client
must perform an initial commit without any buffer attached.
The compositor will reply with a layer_surface.configure event.
The client must acknowledge it and is then allowed to attach a buffer
to map the surface.
You may pass NULL for output to allow the compositor to decide which
output to use. Generally this will be the one that the user most
recently interacted with.
Clients can specify a namespace that defines the purpose of the layer
surface.

<description summary="layer metadata interface">
An interface that may be implemented by a wl_surface, for surfaces that
are designed to be rendered as a layer of a stacked desktop-like
environment.
Layer surface state (layer, size, anchor, exclusive zone,
margin, interactivity) is double-buffered, and will be applied at the
time wl_surface.commit of the corresponding wl_surface is called.
Attaching a null buffer to a layer surface unmaps it.
Unmapping a layer_surface means that the surface cannot be shown by the
compositor until it is explicitly mapped again. The layer_surface
returns to the state it had right after layer_shell.get_layer_surface.
The client can re-map the surface by performing a commit without any

and corners. If two orthogonal edges are specified (e.g. 'top' and
'left'), then the anchor point will be the intersection of the edges
(e.g. the top left corner of the output); otherwise the anchor point
will be centered on that edge, or in the center if none is specified.
Anchor is double-buffered, see wl_surface.commit.

<request name="set_exclusive_zone">
<description summary="configures the exclusive geometry of this surface">
Requests that the compositor avoids occluding an area with other
surfaces. The compositor's use of this information is
implementation-dependent - do not assume that this region will not
actually be occluded.
A positive value is only meaningful if the surface is anchored to one
edge or an edge and both perpendicular edges. If the surface is not
anchored, anchored to only two perpendicular edges (a corner), anchored
to only two parallel edges or anchored to all edges, a positive value
will be treated the same as zero.
A positive zone is the distance from the edge in surface-local
coordinates to consider exclusive.
Surfaces that do not wish to have an exclusive zone may instead specify
how they should interact with surfaces that do. If set to zero, the
surface indicates that it would like to be moved to avoid occluding
surfaces with a positive exclusive zone. If set to -1, the surface
indicates that it would not like to be moved to accommodate for other
surfaces, and the compositor should extend it all the way to the edges
it is anchored to.
For example, a panel might set its exclusive zone to 10, so that
maximized shell surfaces are not shown on top of it. A notification
might set its exclusive zone to 0, so that it is moved to avoid
occluding the panel, but shell surfaces are shown underneath it. A
wallpaper or lock screen might set their exclusive zone to -1, so that
they stretch below or over the panel.
The default value is 0.
Exclusive zone is double-buffered, see wl_surface.commit.

<description summary="types of keyboard interaction possible for a layer shell surface">
Types of keyboard interaction possible for layer shell surfaces. The
rationale for this is twofold: (1) some applications are not interested
in keyboard events and not allowing them to be focused can improve the
desktop experience; (2) some applications will want to take exclusive
keyboard focus.
</description>
<entry name="none" value="0">
<description summary="no keyboard focus is possible">
This value indicates that this surface is not interested in keyboard
events and the compositor should never assign it the keyboard focus.
This is the default value, set for newly created layer shell surfaces.
This is useful for e.g. desktop widgets that display information or
only have interaction with non-keyboard input devices.
</description>
</entry>
<entry name="exclusive" value="1">
<description summary="request exclusive keyboard focus">
Request exclusive keyboard focus if this surface is above the shell surface layer.
For the top and overlay layers, the seat will always give
exclusive keyboard focus to the top-most layer which has keyboard
interactivity set to exclusive. If this layer contains multiple
surfaces with keyboard interactivity set to exclusive, the compositor
determines the one receiving keyboard events in an implementation-
defined manner. In this case, no guarantee is made when this surface
will receive keyboard focus (if ever).
For the bottom and background layers, the compositor is allowed to use
normal focus semantics.
This setting is mainly intended for applications that need to ensure
they receive all keyboard events, such as a lock screen or a password
prompt.

</entry>
<entry name="on_demand" value="2" since="4">
<description summary="request regular keyboard focus semantics">
This requests the compositor to allow this surface to be focused and
unfocused by the user in an implementation-defined manner. The user
should be able to unfocus this surface even regardless of the layer
it is on.
Typically, the compositor will want to use its normal mechanism to
manage keyboard focus between layer shell surfaces with this setting
and regular toplevels on the desktop layer (e.g. click to focus).
Nevertheless, it is possible for a compositor to require a special
interaction to focus or unfocus layer shell surfaces (e.g. requiring
a click even if focus follows the mouse normally, or providing a
keybinding to switch focus between layers).
This setting is mainly intended for desktop shell components (e.g.
panels) that allow keyboard interaction. Using this option can allow
implementing a desktop shell that can be fully usable without the
mouse.

Set how keyboard events are delivered to this surface. By default,
layer shell surfaces do not receive keyboard events; this request can

Layer surfaces receive pointer, touch, and tablet events normally. If
you do not want to receive them, set the input region on your surface
to an empty region.

<description summary="ack a configure event">
When a configure event is received, if a client commits the
surface in response to the configure event, then the client
must make an ack_configure request sometime before the commit
request, passing along the serial of the configure event.
If the client receives multiple configure events before it
can respond to one, it only has to ack the last configure event.
A client is not required to commit immediately after sending
an ack_configure request - it may even ack_configure several times
before its next surface commit.
A client may send multiple ack_configure requests before committing, but
only the last request sent before a commit indicates which configure
event the client really is responding to.

The configure event asks the client to resize its surface.
Clients should arrange their surface for the new states, and then send
an ack_configure request with the serial sent in this configure event at
some point before committing the new surface.
The client is free to dismiss all but the last configure event it
received.
The width and height arguments specify the size of the window in
surface-local coordinates.
The size is a hint, in the sense that the client is free to ignore it if
it doesn't resize, pick a smaller size (to satisfy aspect ratio or
resize in steps of NxM pixels). If the client picks a smaller size and
is anchored to two opposite anchors (e.g. 'top' and 'bottom'), the
surface will be centered on this axis.
If the width or height arguments are zero, it means the client should
decide its own window dimension.
