Hey, Jaiden here, just want to note that this repo is an earlier copy/playground version of Electrum, another abandoned piece of the lineage of Kiri. Everything below this point is original, but this note felt important.

A Wayland-only Window Compositing and Window Management solution.

This list is non-exhaustive, if cargo build fails at any point, please check and see if it is related to a missing dependency.

• wayland
• wayland-protocols

Simply running cargo build should be enough.

Electrum contains two test applications, output and image. More details may be found in the [/src/bin] directory.

Electrum may be ran with cargo run. When running, please make sure to get the Wayland socket name, usually in the form of wayland-#. This socket name is how you can connect a Wayland client to Electrum.

To run Electrum alongside another Wayland server, you may use the WAYLAND_DISPLAY environment variable per-app. For example, to run the input test,

# Assuming Electrum is bound to socket wayland-1
WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1 cargo run --bin image

Electrum will pick a backend based off the ELECTRUM_BACKEND variable. If this is missing or invalid, Electrum will fallback to the winit backend in development.

Electrum cannot be installed at this time.

Documentation is scattered throughout this repository, it is recommended to find a folder of interest (for example, /src/bin for test programs, and /src/backend for rendering backends) All docs are located in README.md files in their respective folders.
