Wayland support #70

Are there any plans to support wayland in the future?

teleprint-me commented 2 years ago

A lot of distros are moving away from X11 and integrating Wayland by default now. So, as time moves on, this is going to be more and more of an issue.

Hello,

Ok, mine is working on Ubuntu 22.04 with wayland... his is how to fix (for the time being), you just need to use the root account to make it works on wayland. I'm using the original komorebi, not this fork.

- open a terminal
- sudo su
- cd /System/Applications
- ./komorebi
- CTRL+C (to close Komorebi, was just to generate the config file)
- nano /root/.Komorebi.prop
- edit the file to select the animated wallpaper you want (or you can put yours in the default folder "foggy_sunny_mountain", don't forget to "ShowDesktopIcons=false")
- CTRL+O ... Enter ... CTRL+X (save and exit)
- nano /System/Applications/gnome-start
- 
- put in this file (replace root_pass by your root password)
#!/bin/bash
echo root_pass | sudo -kS /System/Applications/komorebi
- chmod 777 /System/Applications/gnome-start
- chmod +x /System/Applications/gnome-start
- su user (replace user by your username on the system)
- nano ~/.config/autostart/komorebi.desktop
- replace the line exec by "Exec=/System/Applications/gnome-start"
- CTRL+O ... Enter ... CTRL+X (save and exit)

Here we go, restart your session...

@scoony is there any way you could make a pull request to automate this process? this is a very beautiful software that's been halted because of the wayland issue and it'd be very appreciated if you could help future-proof it

v3.0.0 should work on Wayland with some caveats (it displays a Wayland window in taskbars, some graphical weirdness in window decorations.)
