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 ~/.config/li-panel/li-panel.cfg file. 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
focus_mode = inputs

[run]
ID = run0
PLACEMENT = panel0

[windowlist]
ID = wl0
PLACEMENT = panel0 flex-grow:9999;

[datetime]
ID = datetime0
PLACEMENT = panel0 width:120px;
format = %H:%M

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)
