Title: woodland.tcz Description: wlroots stacking compositor Version: 2.0.5 Author: Nicolas Dio Original-site: https://github.com/DiogenesN/woodland Copying-policy: GPL v 2 Size: 120K Extension_by: aus9 @linuxquestions.org Tags: wayland compositor wlroots Comments: Entire desktop can be zoomed by holding down Super key and rotate mouse wheel up or down or rotate wheel top LH corner. HOVER your mouse pointer bottom RH corner to bring up widget panel Some panel items need extra packages or setups YMMV Clicking network widget may freeze for ~ 10s for scanning wifi but I only tested the time/calender widget as I am on a tower. "within 10mm" means clicking at 45 degree angle to corner. That is, pretend there is a line from LH bottom corner to RH top corner. You are clicking on that line at the top or bottom....now read on. You can change ini setting Clicking "within 10mm" of top RH corner brings up window list for all opened apps including minimised apps. Restore minimised Apps via this list. Rotate opened apps by Alt+Tab and reverse rotate by Ctl+Alt+Tab. WARNING stacking windows might hide another window needing your input. This happened to me in copying over an existing file using pcmanfm, there were 2 dialog boxes...one was hidden until I rotated the stack. Clicking "within 10mm" bottom LH corner brings up menu list -- acts as alternative to wbar. Each item is clickable text. If your app has no maximise button you can drag the window borders to max. All gtk3 max buttons to work. Max. button in firefox acts like F11 ...press F11 to get back to normal. TCEs NOT SUPPORTED - exittc sfwbar slurp swaylock waybar wlr-randr xwayland apps GUI can play up. If clicking browse a few times fails, then Super+Esc -> wood and retry please. Apps works better fully maximised TCE positives * lxterminal has been defined as your terminal and can be changed ---- remember to edit your ini & dep file if you prefer another terminal ---- apps GUI works on wayland with lxterminal * brightnessctl for brightness and read brightness and panel sections https://github.com/DiogenesN/woodland/blob/main/README.md * grim for screenshots * wlrctl for window placement (not tested) * wofi for search and launch executables Note that both grim and wofi have menu and kb shortcuts but not made dependency You need to exit woodland and restart if you modify the ini for the following: welcome_screen d_power_path background tap_to_click window placement zoom_speed So EDITS of kb shortcuts and menus are refreshed without doing anything special. Hard coded kb shortcuts are: Super+Esc to prompt Super+x closes the current window. Alt+Tab already discussed. On first use...I recommend you stay in current desktop and run $ tce-load -i woodland It creates ~/.local/bin/wood and files under ~/.config/woodland includes ini file To start desktop Exit to prompt & run $ wood When you exit woodland via the methods in this info or ini file, a new file is created under your ~.config/woodland for sizes.....you can safely ignore this. You either force sizes via the ini file or click max. button or drag the window edges You decide what to change in your ini file, but I recommend that you at least try out lxterminal which is a forced dependency as I assume you are not a wayland addict. LOL For wayland addicts If you like woodland to be your default desktop, replace startx in /home//.profile with /home//.local/bin/wood....change to local login name I suggest you leave current desktop in boot list so you can get back to it by Super+Esc then run startx Change-log: 2025/12/03 v 2.0.5 on 16x Current: 2025/12/03
