Hikari - Wayland Compositor

Description

hikari is a stacking Wayland compositor with additional tiling capabilities, it is heavily inspired by the Calm Window manager (cwm(1)). Its core concepts are views, groups, sheets and the workspace.

The workspace is the set of views that are currently visible.

A sheet is a collection of views, each view can only be a member of a single sheet. Switching between sheets will replace the current content of the workspace with all the views that are a member of the selected sheet. hikari has 9 general purpose sheets that correspond to the numbers 1 to 9 and a special purpose sheet 0. Views that are a member of sheet 0 will always be visible but stacked below the views of the selected sheet.

Groups are a bit more fine grained than sheets. Like sheets, groups are a collection of views. Unlike sheets you can have a arbitrary number of groups and each group can have an arbitrary name. Views from one group can be spread among all available sheets. Some operations act on entire groups rather than individual views.

Note...

This is a fork from the original hikari repository which doesn't seem to be active any longer.

Although this work was originally done in the darcs VCS, all future work is now centred on Codeberg, and hence it is expected that PRs, Issues, etc., are logged there in terms of this repo and ideally future hikari development as well.
