wf-shell is a repository which contains the various components needed to built a fully functional DE based around wayfire. Currently it has only a GTK-based panel and background client.
wf-shell needs the core wayland libraries and protocols (wayland-devel
and wayland-protocols-devel
for Fedora), gtkmm-3.0 and wf-config
Just like any meson project:
git clone https://github.com/WayfireWM/wf-shell && cd wf-shell
meson build --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release
ninja -C build && sudo ninja -C build install
To configure the panel and the dock, wf-shell uses a config file located (by default) in ~/.config/wf-shell.ini
An example configuration can be found in the file wf-shell.ini.example
, alongside with comments what each option does.
