the positioning of outputs, tracks the surfaces on the outputs and sends enter/leave for the surfaces Additionally the output_map will handle re-location of windows if a output mode is changed, an output is added or removed. The shell has been updated to use the primary output for the initial placement. The fullscreen/maximize requests will now handle the shell part correctly. For real fullscreen output the rendering has to be changed. The output name is considered unique and an output can be retrieved from the map by location, output or name. This can be used as the base for HiDPI handling. |

Smithay
A smithy for rusty wayland compositors
Goals
Smithay aims to provide building blocks to create wayland compositors in Rust. While not being a full-blown compositor, it'll provide objects and interfaces implementing common functionalities that pretty much any compositor will need, in a generic fashion.
Also:
- Documented: Smithay strives to maintain a clear and detailed documentation of its API and its functionalities. Compiled documentations are available on docs.rs for released versions, and here for the master branch.
- Safety: Smithay will target to be safe to use, because Rust.
- Modularity: Smithay is not a framework, and will not be constraining. If there is a part you don't want to use, you should not be forced to use it.
- High-level: You should be able to not have to worry about gory low-level stuff (but Smithay won't stop you if you really want to dive into it).
Anvil
Like others, Smithay as a compositor library has its own sample compositor: anvil.
You can run it with cargo after having cloned this repository:
cd anvil;
cargo run -- --{backend}
The currently available backends are:
-
--winit
: start anvil as a Winit application. This allows you to run it inside of an other X11 or Wayland session. -
--tty-udev
: start anvil in a tty with udev support. This is the "traditional" launch of a Wayland compositor. Note that this requires you to start anvil as root if your system does not have logind available (consolekit support is planned). To use logind, you need to activate the associated cargo feature:cargo run --features logind -- --tty-udev
