wldash
A dashboard/launcher/control-panel thing for Wayland. Requires wlr-layer-shell-unstable-v1.
Consider this alpha-quality: While it works, everything is subject to change with a moments notice. You may end up pulling in the latest changes, and poof, wldash suddenly turns into an artisan espresso machine.
How to use
- Checkout:
git clone https://github.com/kennylevinsen/wldash - Build:
cargo build --release - Put somewhere:
cp target/release/wldash /usr/local/bin/wldash - Run:
wldash
To display wldash on all outputs, set WLDASH_ALL_OUTPUTS=1. To cut size in half, set WLDASH_SCALE=2.
How to use launcher
The launcher for wldash is built-in, based on https://github.com/kennylevinsen/dot-desktop. Pluggable systems may come back in the future.
Configuration currently happen through environment variables:
- WLDASH_APP_OPENER: The command used to open normal applications. For sway, the recommended value is "swaymsg exec".
- WLDASH_TERM_OPENER: The command used to open terminal applications.
- WLDASH_URL_OPENER: The command used to open a URL.
