Description

🚀 Mangowc

Mangowc is a Wayland compositor based on wlroots and scenefx. Its development is based on dwl, following a "dwm for Wayland" philosophy.


1. Lightweight & Fast Build

Mango is as lightweight as dwl and can be built completely within a few seconds. Despite this, Mango does not compromise on functionality.


2. Feature Highlights

In addition to basic window manager functionality, Mango provides:

  • Excellent xwayland support.
  • Tags instead of workspaces (supports separate window layouts for each tag).
  • Smooth and customizable animations (window open/move/close, tag enter/leave, layer open/close/move).
  • Excellent input method support (text input v2/v3).
  • Flexible window layouts with easy switching (scroller, master-stack, monocle, center-master, etc.).
  • Rich window states (swallow, minimize, maximize, unglobal, global, fakefullscreen, overlay, etc.).
  • Simple yet powerful external configuration (supports shortcut hot-reloading).
  • Sway-like scratchpad and named scratchpad.
  • IPC support (get/send messages from/to the compositor via external programs).
  • Hycov-like overview.
  • Window effects from scenefx (blur, shadow, corner radius, opacity).
