A while back, @icedman created PR #24, but never addressed the problems. If someone wants to pick this up and make it possible to merge, that would be great. The problems with the PR upon its creation:

1. It doesn't pass the build tests.
2. It uses KDE's obsolete server_decoration protocol. It'll have to use the official xdg-decoration protocol.
3. Some of the source files are huge (so huge that GitHub won't even show them). If that's necessary, that's OK, but I have a feeling it's not. In particular, rendering XPM files shouldn't be something to do. XPM files can easily be converted to SVG and windowing system-agnostic libraries can be used for them (instead of adding a bunch of code to Waybox to handle a legacy format).
4. It adds a lot of new themes. I don't think these should be added to the Waybox repo. Maybe the default theme should, but largely, I'd rather a different repo for themes (ideally, one arranged so that someone could just use git clone in $XDG_DATA_HOME/themes (or $prefix/themes)).

Additional problems now:

1. There are merge conflicts.
2. It relies on the wlroots gles2 renderer (optional since wlroots 0.14.0), so it's not renderer agnostic. I suppose we could change meson.build to build it only when wlroots has a gles2 renderer, but I'd prefer something that could be used with any renderer.
3. It forces server-side decorations. Client-side decorations should be used if the client requests them. I think we should use Openbox's <decor> element (only making it global, instead of only possible in <application>), with the Openbox values yes and no, as well as client (always use client-side decorations, even if server-side decorations were requested) and server (always use server-side decorations, even if client-side decorations were requested). However, I'd be implementing that option and it would only be the job of whoever takes this up to make sure that client-side decorations are used if they're requested (it's easy to detect: wlr_xdg_toplevel_decoration_v1.requested_mode).

building with latest wlroots from Arch linux AUR fails. Here is the log:

Could You please provide some basic config files (rc.xml, menu.xml) to start with, and to see what is already implemented?

I only get an empty window without any menus/function, when loading existing openbox configs.
(waybox.git, archlinux/AUR)

Thanks for your work on this promising projekt!

Is this compatible with the latest wlroots?

Hi. I love the idea. OpenBox serves me well to this day and I can't wait to use this full-time. In the meanwhile, would it be possible to make releases on GitHub? That way it'd be easier for others to package this software. I for one would like to improve the experience of packaging this for Gentoo. As of now, this is available in the wayland-desktop overlay, but only from the code pulled from latest master commit. This doesn't provide a uniform experience unfortunately as the state of master's HEAD will keep changing.

What is the current status of the project? Do you have any list of features that have not yet been ported?

Hi there,

Trying to build against WLRoots 0.16.2, I see this:

../waybox/xdg_shell.c: In function ‘focus_view’:
../waybox/xdg_shell.c:76:4: error: ‘previous’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
   76 |    wlr_xdg_toplevel_set_activated(previous->toplevel, false);

Is this a known problem?

We should have some way of interacting with clients. Be able to use a mouse cursor to point and click at least and type with a keyboard. Maybe work with a touch screen?

This was requested by someone in the #waybox irc chat on Libera. I need to get with you at some point @keithbowes and try to come up with a doc.

Why don't you guys join forces with labwc or maybe your goals are different than this openbox project?

Apologies for the n00b question, my first time using Wayland instead of X11. I installed Manjaro Sway, and as predicted, it starts the Sway compositor. Since I'm not very used to tiling WM, I would prefer to switch to a stacking WM.
I tried to look around for a way to change the default compositor, but even Arch Wiki doesn't mention how to do this.

So does anyone know how I could switch to waybox?
