Hi all, I've been working for some time on a custom shell for Weston (1.2). Some of you may have seen some screencasts i made some months ago [1][2] when working on the shell plugin. Now i've added a custom shell client, made with Qt 5 and QtQuick 2, which talks to the plugin using a custom desktop_shell.xml, based on the one in weston.
Now i'm quite happy with its state, so I though it was time to tell the world about it. The goal is to provide a usable, self-contained, shell to Weston, and to see what does Wayland allow to do that X didn't. Things it has that Weston's shell doesn't: * effects like exposè * a taskbar with the ability to minimize clients * modular ui made of separate widgets/applets/whatyoumaycallit * graphical configuration tools That's it, more or less. The code is here: https://github.com/giucam/orbital The README explains how to build and install it. I'll soon start focusing more on the server-side again, so expect patches to Weston. ;) Hope you like it, Giulio [1]: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwQfYG8Bm6U [2]: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o-sKdyUPO8
