Swindle is a fork of [dwl](https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl) that was designed from the start with one goal: to make it feel like the poor man's Hyprland. It has the following:
|
|
|
|
* NO cool vfx
|
|
* nearly NO documentation
|
|
* ZERO good original code
|
|
* only ONE tiling layout (dwindle)
|
|
|
|
> Fun fact: I actually took some parts of [MangoWM](https://github.com/mangowm/mango) (such as the ext-workspaces implementation). hence why the LICENSE.mangowm exists
|

|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
* libinput
|
|
* wayland
|
|
* wlroots-0.20 (compiled with the libinput backend)
|
|
* xkbcommon
|
|
* wayland-protocols (compile-time only)
|
|
* pkg-config (compile-time only)
|
|
|
|
Install these (and their `-devel` versions if your distro has separate
|
|
development packages) and run `make` followed by `doas/sudo make install`, if you wish to install it (installs to /usr/local/bin/ by default).

## Configuration
|
|
|
|
read example/config.lua. It should give you a basic idea of how configuring swindle works.
|
|
|
|
> note: it's best to copy /etc/swindle/config.lua into XDG_HOME_DIR/.config/swindle/ before you attempt to
|
|
start swindle because it (swindle) won't start without it
