rbshell

A compositor-agnostic desktop shell!

NOTE: This project is under heavy development, and will probably not be "stable" for a while.

Welcome to a desktop shell that's intended to run on any compositor! To be more specific, this would be any compositor that implements wlr-layer-shell. The rest of the wayland backend stuff is implemented per-backend.

The currently planned backends to be supported are:

This shell is intended to be similar to Windows-style desktops, with a launcher in the bottom left, a list of favorite apps in the middle or left (configurable), and a tray with settings on the right! The designs aren't fully finished at the moment, but that's the general direction I'd like to go.

The shell is proudly built entirely in Rust!

Contributing

The first thing you should do if you'd like to contribute is submit an issue describing the feature you'd like to implement. This helps to avoid potential duplicate work if I'm already working on such a feature!

Also check out the issues I've written out, as that will give an idea of the roadmap I'm looking at!
