Hello ! I've been using wayfire for some time, I really enjoy it. I do drop some plugins, that I really do not need, in the hope to also make it somehow lighter (the eye candy ones):
# animate \ # cube \ # expo \ # fisheye \ # grid \ # invert \ # wobbly \ # wrot \ # zoom
I still want to have transparency, opacity, shadows, and simple things picom like provided enabled. Is there anything else that can be dropped that could help? The ones remaining:
plugins = \ alpha \ autostart \ command \ decoration \ fast-switcher \ foreign-toplevel \ gtk-shell \ idle \ move \ oswitch \ place \ resize \ session-lock \ shortcuts-inhibit \ switcher \ vswitch \ wayfire-shell \ window-rules \ wm-actions \ workspace-names
I also need windows decorations, and being able to do regular windows and workspaces decorations. If you're wondering about workspace-names, I really don't like workspaces pagers or graphical workspaces being shown on waybar, and I prefer to briefly show the target workspace name when transitioning to it, that's all that extra plugin does. plugins = \ alpha \ autostart \ command \ decoration \ fast-switcher \ foreign-toplevel \ gtk-shell \ idle \ move \ oswitch \ place \ resize \ session-lock \ shortcuts-inhibit \ switcher \ vswitch \ wayfire-shell \ window-rules \ wm-actions \ workspace-names If there's anything like eye candy not really required I can get rid of let me know. BTW, I've been thinking on removing switcher, since fast-switcher is less eye candy and does the thing right, but not sure if that would be limiting switching among windows, but that's one additional candidate I've been considering... Thanks a lot ! -- Javier

Although I was pretty resistant to use labwc given how I've been using wayfire for quite some time, and how getting to the right configs takes its considerable amount of time, I decided to try it, and although not working out of the box without some configs, particularly the output one, I was really surprised with it. It works as I was looking wayfire to behave, just more stable (with wayfire, on a particular PC when turning off the monitor, the windows on every workspace were rearranged into workspace 1, and I always had to go move everything back to where it was before turning the monitor off, this does not happen with labwc). All in all, it seems labwc is just the lighter wayfire I was looking for, and with the openbox dracula theme tweaked a bit, of course with proper keybindings, I can't tell the difference. Labwc doesn't offer a way to pick for CSD, since it's by definition SSD, but I have GTK configured to use CSD any ways. The funny thing, I never liked openbox on X, since I preferred fuxbox (without its panel or status bar, neither its menu) and not being into editing XML config files (I still don't like that), but it seems like the only stacking alternative close enough to fluxbox using wlroots. So labwc it is, :) Greetings ! -- Javier
