labwc
A wlroots-based Wayland compositor for conventional floating, overlapping windows, with desktop stacking and Xwayland support. Its XML configuration and Openbox 3.6 style conventions make it approachable to Openbox users, while the project keeps the compositor focused rather than supplying a complete desktop shell. Developed as a Wayland compositor inspired by Openbox, including a similar stacking workflow and Openbox-style XML configuration.
