Hopalong

Hopalong is a simple Wayland compositor with a featureset comparable to XFWM.

Design Goals

Window managers should stay out of the user's way and be as boring as possible.
- No wobbly windows or other complexity.
- Simple chrome with color themes: Choose a primary color and we do the rest.
- Designed for people who like GNU nano as a primary editor.
Minimal resource utilization.
Correct functionality regardless of system byte ordering (endianness).
Built on wlroots: a rock-solid Wayland compositor framework powering other compositors such as Sway.
