NAME

labwc - A Wayland stacking compositor

SYNOPSIS

labwc [options...] [command]

DESCRIPTION

Labwc is a wlroots-based stacking compositor for Wayland.

It aims to be light-weight and independent, with a focus on simply stacking windows well and rendering some window decorations. Where practicable, it uses clients for wall-paper, panels, screenshots, and so on.

OPTIONS

-c <config>

Specify a config file

-d

-s <command>

Run command on startup

-v

-V

CONFIGURATION AND THEMING

Labwc uses openbox specification for configuration and theming, but does not support all options. The the following files control the look and behaviour:

•~/.config/labwc/rc.xml

•~/.config/labwc/menu.xml

•~/.config/labwc/autostart

•~/.config/labwc/environment

•~/.themes/<name>/openbox-3/themerc

Equivalent XDG Base Directory Specification locations are also honoured.

The configuration file and theme are re-loaded on receiving signal SIGHUP.

The autostart file is executed as a shell script. This is a place for setting a background image, launching a panel, or similar.

The environment file is parsed as <variable>=<value> and sets environment variables accordingly. It is recommended to specify keyboard settings here, for example: `XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT=gb`. See xkeyboard-config(7) for details. Note that the environment file is treated differently by openbox where it is simply sourced prior to running openbox.
