NAME

6       labwc - A Wayland stacking compositor
7

SYNOPSIS

9       labwc  [options...] [command]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Labwc is a wlroots-based stacking compositor for Wayland.
13
14       It aims to be light-weight and independent, with a focus on simply
15       stacking windows well and rendering some window decorations. Where
16       practicable, it uses clients for wall-paper, panels, screenshots, and
17       so on.

CONFIGURATION AND THEMING

39       Labwc uses openbox specification for configuration and theming, but
40       does not support all options. The the following files control the look
41       and behaviour:
42
43       •   ~/.config/labwc/rc.xml
44       •   ~/.config/labwc/menu.xml
45       •   ~/.config/labwc/autostart
46       •   ~/.config/labwc/environment
47       •   ~/.themes/<name>/openbox-3/themerc
48
49
50       Equivalent XDG Base Directory Specification locations are also hon‐
51       oured.
52
53       The configuration file and theme are re-loaded on receiving signal
54       SIGHUP.
55
56       The autostart file is executed as a shell script. This is a place for
57       setting a background image, launching a panel, or similar.
58
59       The environment file is parsed as <variable>=<value> and sets environ‐
60       ment variables accordingly. It is recommended to specify keyboard set‐
61       tings here, for example: `XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT=gb`. See xkeyboard-con‐
62       fig(7) for details.  Note that the environment file is treated differ‐
63       ently by openbox where it is simply sourced prior to running openbox.
