howl

howl is a small, extensible Wayland compositor written with the neuswc library.

It is controlled through an external client, which allows for scriptability.

See the howl and howlc manual pages for more information on usage.

Usage

howl shines where scriptability shines. It is almost entirely controlled from the command line, allowing for things like complicated windowing logic and advanced usage to be possible all without complicating the compositor code itself.

It is also very heavily configurable and makes a point of exposing as much of the underlying fluff as possible while staying relatively easy to approach.
