Root cause: applyrules() called setmon() which called resize(), but resize() dereferences c->scene_surface->node before c->scene_surface was created in mapnotify(). Fix by storing target monitor/tags in pending_mon/pending_tags fields and calling setmon() after scene nodes exist. The crash affected all new windows, not just Firefox (which was the first tested).
PeachWM
peachwm
peachwm is a fork of swindle
PeachWM is now a independent wayland compositor based on WLRoots
that is designed to be similar to MangoWC, while remaining lightweight.
PeachWM is maintained by HuntedByTheIRS.
Features
- Lua configuration
- Dwindle, Master, Monocle, and Floating layouts
- XWayland support
- Lightweight
Dependencies
- libinput
- wayland
- wlroots-0.20 (compiled with the libinput backend)
- scenefx (for rendering effects)
- xkbcommon
- wayland-protocols (compile-time only)
- pkg-config (compile-time only)
- a C23 compiler — GCC 14+ or Clang 18+ (clang recommended)
Install these (and their -devel versions if your distro has separate
development packages) and run make followed by doas/sudo make install,
if you wish to install it (installs to /usr/local/bin/ by default).
SceneFX
PeachWM uses scenefx for rendering eye-candy effects on screen. These effects are now considered stable and no longer experimental.
Effects
- Rounded corners — smooth, configurable corner rounding on windows
- Shadows — drop shadows for windows
- More effects are planned and on the way.
Configuration
Read example/config.lua. It should give you a basic idea of how configuring peachwm works.
Its good to move/copy /etc/peachwm/config.lua to $HOME/.config/peachwm/, but will start without this step if you choose not to.
Installation
make release -j$(nproc)
sudo make install
mkdir -p $HOME/.config/peachwm/
cp /etc/peachwm/config.lua $HOME/.config/peachwm/config.lua
Roadmap
- No longer require exiting peachwm upon input config changes
- Allow status bar requests (swaymsg like)
- Add smartgaps
- Implement scratchpad workspaces
- Add animations via scenefx
