9 labwc [options...] [command]
10
12 Labwc is a stacking compositor for Wayland. It aims to be light-weight
13 and have the feel of Openbox albeit with a smaller feature set. Where
14 practicable, it uses clients to show wall-paper, take screenshots, and
15 so on. It tries to stay in keeping with wlroots and sway in terms of
16 approach and coding style.

38 Labwc uses openbox specification for configuration and theming, but
39 does not support all options. The the following files control the look
40 and behaviour:
41
42 · ~/.config/labwc/rc.xml
43 · ~/.config/labwc/menu.xml
44 · ~/.config/labwc/autostart
45 · ~/.config/labwc/environment
46 · ~/.themes/<name>/openbox-3/themerc

49 Equivalent XDG Base Directory Specification locations are also hon‐
50 oured.
51
52 The configuration file and theme are re-loaded on receiving signal
53 SIGHUP.
54
55 The autostart file is executed as a shell script. This is a place for
56 setting a background image, launching a panel, or similar.
57
58 The environment file is parsed as <variable>=<value> and sets environ‐
59 ment variables accordingly. It is recommended to specify keyboard set‐
60 tings here, for example: `XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT=gb`. See xkeyboard-con‐
61 fig(7) for details. Note that the environment file is treated differ‐
62 ently by openbox where it is simply sourced prior to running openbox.
