Way Cooler

An experimental Wayland compositor component designed to pair with AwesomeWM, using Awesome’s Lua-driven policy rather than providing an unrelated desktop shell. The project required a patched Awesome client and its repository is archived, so it is of historical interest rather than a current desktop choice. Way Cooler was designed as the compositor component of AwesomeWM for Wayland; its repository was archived in January 2020.
