li-panel

li-panel is core of desktop environment that can run under any compositor (being it Wayland or x11 - currently the support is limited) and takes care of all desktop widgets like backgrounds, panels, notifications, volume/brightness popups, etc.

Usage

The whole li-panel is based on number of plugins and plugin runner (which only runs the plugins with their configs). To configure the li-panel, update the li-panel.cfg file (should be in the same directory as the binary). The format should be as following:

<plugin name>{
ID: <unique ID>
PLACEMENT: <container ID | WINDOW | NULL> <optional CSS>
option: value
}

<plugin name>{
...
}

Example:

panel{
ID: panel0
PLACEMENT: WINDOW -1 0 0 0 -1 60
}

run{
ID: run0
PLACEMENT: panel0
}

windowlist{
ID: wl0
PLACEMENT: panel0 flex-grow:9999;
}

datetime{
ID: datetime0
PLACEMENT: panel0 width:120px;
format: %H:%M
}

Install

Build from source:

sudo pacman -S wayland wlr-protocols
git clone https://github.com/mi4code/li-panel
cd li-panel
mkdir build
cd build
make -f ../Makefile

Applets

Applet plugin interface is described in example applet source.

TODOs

• multi-screen support (default config for all screens, support for automatic handling of new screens / screen disconection)
• conditional applet loading
• titlebar and windowlist window menu
• system tray
• universally stylable applets (with HTML+CSS guidelines)
