Description
Mir based Wayland compositor.
Miriway is a starting point for creating a Wayland based desktop environment using Mir.
At the core of Miriway is miriway-shell, a Mir based Wayland compositor that provides:
- A "floating windows" window managament policy;
- Support for Wayland (and via Xwayland) X11 applications;
- Dynamic workspaces;
- Additional Wayland support for "shell components" such as panels and docs; and,
- Configurable shortcuts for launching standard apps such as launcher and terminal emulator.
In addition to miriway-shell, Miriway has:
- A "terminal emulator finder" script miriway-terminal, that works with most terminal emulators;
- A launch script miriway to simplify starting Miriway;
- A default configuration file miriway-shell.config; and,
- A greeter configuration miriway.desktop so Miriway can be selected at login
Miriway has been tested with shell components from several desktop environments and there are notes on enabling these in miriway-shell.config.
