Wayfire

From ArchWiki

Wayfire is a 3D wayland compositor, inspired by Compiz and based on wlroots. It aims to create a customizable, extendable and lightweight environment without sacrificing its appearance.

Installation

Wayfire can be installed with the wayfire package. Additionally, install wf-shell to add a taskbar and a wallpaper to it, and install wcm to add a configuration GUI program.

To have a better experience, these packages below are also recommended:

Starting

Wayfire can be started by a display manager or with the command below:

$ wayfire

To specify a config file:

$ wayfire -c /path/to/config.ini

Configuration

Download the default config file, and save it as ~/.config/wayfire.ini to start configuration. If you have installed wcm, then everything can be configured under GUI, or you will have to edit the config file with a text editor.
