# dwl - dwm for Wayland
-2025-08-16:
-dwl IS CURRENTLY UN-MAINTAINED.
-AT THE PRESENT TIME, I (@fauxmight) DO NOT HAVE
-THE TIME OR CAPACITY TO KEEP UP WITH [wlroots] CHANGES.
-IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN TAKING ON LEAD DEVELOPER RESPONSIBILITIES,
-SEE ISSUE [#1166](https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl/issues/1166).
----
-
-Join us on our IRC channel: [#dwl on Libera Chat]
-Or on the community-maintained [Discord server].
-
-dwl is a compact, hackable compositor for [Wayland] based on [wlroots]. It is
-intended to fill the same space in the Wayland world that [dwm] does in X11,
-primarily in terms of functionality, and secondarily in terms of
-philosophy. Like [dwm], dwl is:
-
-- Easy to understand, hack on, and extend with patches
-- One C source file (or a very small number) configurable via `config.h`
-- Tied to as few external dependencies as possible
-
-## Getting Started:
-
-### Latest semi-stable [release]
-This is probably where you want to start. This builds against the [wlroots]
-versions currently shipping in major distributions. If your
-distribution's `wlroots` version is older, use an earlier dwl [release].
-The `wlroots` version against which a given `dwl` release builds is specified
-with each release on the [release] page
-
-### Development branch [main]
-Active development progresses on the `main` branch. The `main` branch is built
-against a late (and often changing) git commit of wlroots. While the adventurous
-are welcome to use `main`, it is a rocky road. Using `main` requires that the
-user be willing to chase git commits of wlroots. Testing development pull
-requests may involve merging unmerged pull requests in [wlroots]' git repository
-and/or git commits of wayland.
-
-### Building dwl
-dwl has the following dependencies:
-- libinput
-- wayland
-- wlroots (compiled with the libinput backend)
-- xkbcommon
-- wayland-protocols (compile-time only)
-- pkg-config (compile-time only)
-
-dwl has the following additional dependencies if XWayland support is enabled:
-- libxcb
-- libxcb-wm
-- wlroots (compiled with X11 support)
-- Xwayland (runtime only)
-
-Install these (and their `-devel` versions if your distro has separate
-development packages) and run `make`. If you wish to build against a released
-version of wlroots (*you probably do*), use a [release] or a [0.x branch]. If
-you want to use the unstable development `main` branch, you need to use the git
-version of [wlroots].
-
-To enable XWayland, you should uncomment its flags in `config.mk`.
-
-## Configuration
-
-All configuration is done by editing `config.h` and recompiling, in the same
-manner as [dwm]. There is no way to separately restart the window manager in
-Wayland without restarting the entire display server, so any changes will take
-effect the next time dwl is executed.
-
-As in the [dwm] community, we encourage users to share patches they have
-created. Check out the [dwl-patches] repository!
-
-## Running dwl
-
-dwl can be run on any of the backends supported by wlroots. This means you can
-run it as a separate window inside either an X11 or Wayland session, as well as
-directly from a VT console. Depending on your distro's setup, you may need to
-add your user to the `video` and `input` groups before you can run dwl on a
-VT. If you are using `elogind` or `systemd-logind` you need to install polkit;
-otherwise you need to add yourself in the `seat` group and enable/start the
-seatd daemon.
-
-When dwl is run with no arguments, it will launch the server and begin handling
-any shortcuts configured in `config.h`. There is no status bar or other
-decoration initially; these are instead clients that can be run within the
-Wayland session. Do note that the default background color is grey. This can be
-modified in `config.h`.
-
-If you would like to run a script or command automatically at startup, you can
-specify the command using the `-s` option. This command will be executed as a
-shell command using `/bin/sh -c`. It serves a similar function to `.xinitrc`,
-but differs in that the display server will not shut down when this process
-terminates. Instead, dwl will send this process a SIGTERM at shutdown and wait
-for it to terminate (if it hasn't already). This makes it ideal for execing into
-a user service manager like [s6], [anopa], [runit], [dinit], or [`systemd
---user`].
-
-Note: The `-s` command is run as a *child process* of dwl, which means that it
-does not have the ability to affect the environment of dwl or of any processes
-that it spawns. If you need to set environment variables that affect the entire
-dwl session, these must be set prior to running dwl. For example, Wayland
-requires a valid `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`, which is usually set up by a session manager
-such as `elogind` or `systemd-logind`. If your system doesn't do this
-automatically, you will need to configure it prior to launching `dwl`, e.g.:
-
- export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/xdg-runtime-$(id -u)
- mkdir -p $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
- dwl
-
-### Status information
-
-Information about selected layouts, current window title, app-id, and
-selected/occupied/urgent tags is written to the stdin of the `-s` command (see
-the `STATUS INFORMATION` section in `_dwl_(1)`). This information can be used to
-populate an external status bar with a script that parses the
-information. Failing to read this information will cause dwl to block, so if you
-do want to run a startup command that does not consume the status information,
-you can close standard input with the `<&-` shell redirection, for example:
-
- dwl -s 'foot --server <&-'
-
-If your startup command is a shell script, you can achieve the same inside the
-script with the line
-
- exec <&-
-
-To get a list of status bars that work with dwl consult our [wiki].
-
-### (Known) Java nonreparenting WM issue
-Certain IDEs don't display correctly unless an environmental variable for Java AWT
-indicates that the WM is nonreparenting.
-
-For some Java AWT-based IDEs, such as Xilinx Vivado and Microchip MPLAB X, the
-following environment variable needs to be set before running the IDE or dwl:
-
- export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1
-
-## Replacements for X applications
-
-You can find a [list of useful resources on our wiki].
-
-## Background
-
-dwl is not meant to provide every feature under the sun. Instead, like [dwm], it
-sticks to features which are necessary, simple, and straightforward to implement
-given the base on which it is built. Implemented default features are:
-
-- Any features provided by [dwm]/Xlib: simple window borders, tags, keybindings,
- client rules, mouse move/resize. Providing a built-in status bar is an
- exception to this goal, to avoid dependencies on font rendering and/or drawing
- libraries when an external bar could work well.
-- Configurable multi-monitor layout support, including position and rotation
-- Configurable HiDPI/multi-DPI support
-- Idle-inhibit protocol which lets applications such as mpv disable idle
- monitoring
-- Provide information to external status bars via stdout/stdin
-- Urgency hints via xdg-activate protocol
-- Support screen lockers via ext-session-lock-v1 protocol
-- Various Wayland protocols
-- XWayland support as provided by wlroots (can be enabled in `config.mk`)
-- Zero flickering - Wayland users naturally expect that "every frame is perfect"
-- Layer shell popups (used by Waybar)
-- Damage tracking provided by scenegraph API
-
-Given the Wayland architecture, dwl has to implement features from [dwm] **and**
-the xorg-server. Because of this, it is impossible to maintain the original
-project goal of 2000 SLOC and have a reasonably complete compositor with
-features comparable to [dwm]. However, this does not mean that the code will grow
-indiscriminately. We will try to keep the code as small as possible.
-
-Features under consideration (possibly as patches) are:
-
-- Protocols made trivial by wlroots
-- Implement the text-input and input-method protocols to support IME once ibus
- implements input-method v2 (see https://github.com/ibus/ibus/pull/2256 and
- https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl/pulls/235)
-
-Feature *non-goals* for the main codebase include:
-
-- Client-side decoration (any more than is necessary to tell the clients not to)
-- Client-initiated window management, such as move, resize, and close, which can
- be done through the compositor
-- Animations and visual effects
-
-## Acknowledgements
-
-dwl began by extending the TinyWL example provided (CC0) by the sway/wlroots
-developers. This was made possible in many cases by looking at how sway
-accomplished something, then trying to do the same in as suckless a way as
-possible.
-
-Many thanks to suckless.org and the [dwm] developers and community for the
-inspiration, and to the various contributors to the project, including:
-
-- **Devin J. Pohly for creating and nurturing the fledgling project**
-- Alexander Courtis for the XWayland implementation
-- Guido Cella for the layer-shell protocol implementation, patch maintenance,
- and for helping to keep the project running
-- Stivvo for output management and fullscreen support, and patch maintenance

+### Description
+This patch is based on the
+[client-opacity](https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl-patches/raw/branch/main/patches/client-opacity/client-opacity.patch)
+patch. This patch adds differing opacity levels depending upon whether the client is focused or not.
+
+The opacity levels can be change by short cuts.
+
+```
+[MODKEY]+[Ctrl]+[k] -> increase focus opacity unfocused client
+[MODKEY]+[Ctrl]+[j] -> decrease focus opacity unfocused client
+[MODKEY]+[Ctrl]+[Shift]+[k] -> increase focus opacity focused client
+[MODKEY]+[Ctrl]+[Shift]+[j] -> decrease focus opacity focused client
+```
