Building

Dependencies

Meson *
C/C++ compiler *
gtk-layer-shell (if not found, will be build automatically)
GTK+ 3

wayland-client
wayland-scanner *
libpulse
xdg-utils

Cloning

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Firstbober/wapanel.git

Compiling and installation

mkdir build
cd build
meson .. # "meson .. -Dbuildtype=release" for release build
sudo ninja install

If you want to not build some applets then use toggle -Dname=false. List of them is in meson_options.txt e.g. -Dactivator=false. This will disable building of an activator applet.

wapanel's Issues

Development is still ongoing or dead ?

Does it make sense to use this software?

Rework task switcher and add pinning.

Task switcher applet should get a complete rework because current code and design is hard to fit into the panel as it likes to get other widgets "out of bounds". And pinning window buttons would be a great feature to have that will compensate for lack of system tray.

Applet - Volume control

Applet - System tray

Enhance documentation.

Make it more organized, add some animated images etc.

Applet - Activator

Add meson parameter for selecting which applets should not be build.

Something like -Dseparator=enabled.

Applet - Task switcher

bar's height is unchangable from config

Hi, I'm trying to change bar's height from 18 to 12 or 14 but it seems not change at all, do I need to configure it somewhere else beside ~/.config/wapanel.toml ? thanks.

Build with system toml11

Hello. Trying to package wapanel for official repos and there is some requirements related to bundled stuff. Is it possible to build wapanel with system toml11?

Battery module or applet ?

Is there a battery module or applet ?

Move version ifdef to config.hh.

This will make more clearance in code. Meson already supports that.

Use separate window for app finder.

Creating separate windows and positioning it with layer shell will be good alternative for current pop up approach with more flexible placement.

Does not compile on FreeBSD13.0

Add "Create default config" prompt when there is no config found

Port to GTK4.

Applet - App finder

filesystem_error: No such file ../share/wapanel/wapanel.toml

Segfault after first run wapanel due to missconfigure path for wapanel.toml file.

We need to fix prefix path looking for wapanel.toml since most of time and canonical path is:

/usr/share/wapanel/wapanel.toml

Styling of panel and its applets in GTK CSS.

pronunciation

How should "wapanel" be pronounced?

My problem mainly concerns the "wa" part.
It's pretty self-explanatory that "panel" will be read as "panel".

But how should the "wa" part be said?

Should it sound like "wha", because it just sounds the way it looks?
Should it maybe be "whe", because it's from "wayland"?
Sould it be read as "W A" maybe?

I'm confused.
