# rootston
|
||||
|
||||
Rootston is the "big" wlroots test compositor. It implements basically every
|
||||
feature of wlroots and may be useful as a reference for new compositors.
|
||||
However, it's mostly used as a testbed for wlroots development and does not have
|
||||
particularly clean code and is not particularly well designed: proceed with a
|
||||
grain of salt. It is not designed for end-users.
|
||||
|
||||
## Running rootston
|
||||
|
||||
If you followed the build instructions in `../README.md`, the rootston
|
||||
executable can be found at `build/rootston/rootston`. To use it, refer to the
|
||||
example config at [rootston/rootston.ini.example][rootston.ini] and place a
|
||||
config file of your own at `rootston.ini` in the working directory (or in an
|
||||
arbitrary location via `rootston -C`). Other options are available, refer to
|
||||
`rootston -h`.

# TinyWL
|
||||
|
||||
This is the "minimum viable product" Wayland compositor based on wlroots. It
|
||||
aims to implement a Wayland compositor in the fewest lines of code possible,
|
||||
while still supporting a reasonable set of features. Reading this code is the
|
||||
best starting point for anyone looking to build their own Wayland compositor
|
||||
based on wlroots.
|
||||
|
||||
## Building TinyWL
|
||||
|
||||
TinyWL is disconencted from the main wlroots build system, in order to make it
|
||||
easier to understand the build requirements for your own Wayland compositors.
|
||||
Simply install the dependencies:
|
||||
|
||||
- wlroots
|
||||
- wayland-protocols
|
||||
|
||||
And run `make`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Running TinyWL
|
||||
|
||||
You can run TinyWL with `./tinywl`. In an existing Wayland or X11 session,
|
||||
tinywl will open a Wayland or X11 window respectively to act as a virtual
|
||||
display. You can then open Wayland windows by setting `WAYLAND_DISPLAY` to the
|
||||
value shown in the logs. You can also run `./tinywl` from a TTY.
|
||||
|
||||
In either case, you will likely want to specify `-s [cmd]` to run a command at
|
||||
startup, such as a terminal emulator. This will be necessary to start any new
|
||||
programs from within the compositor, as TinyWL does not support any custom
|
||||
keybindings. TinyWL supports the following keybindings:
|
||||
|
||||
- `Alt+Escape`: Terminate the compositor
|
||||
- `Alt+F1`: Cycle between windows
