Overview

AquariWM is a fully modular window manager, allowing extreme extensibility while remaining easily approachable.

Installation

AquariWM is currently in early development and has yet to have a public release. You can clone the repository and build the code locally if you wish to contribute or test that which has been completed so far.

Contributing

Contributions to AquariWM are heavily appreciated and encouraged! AquariWM aims to be a very community-oriented project, and we believe that that should mean AquariWM is owned and developed by the community too. You can find more information about contributing to AquariWM in the contributor's document. Every issue, pull request, from simple spelling corrections to large codebase overhauls, and everything in between, is very much welcome! Even a small contribution can go a long way!

How does AquariWM compare to other window managers?

A welcoming community

We believe community is one of the most important aspects of any project, and that's why we strive to create a friendly and welcoming community for all, regardless of your level of experience and free from discrimination, bigotry, arguments, or disrespect. The AquariWM community is a place to share tips, suggestions, and friendly discussions in general.

Universal communication

Most other window managers only allow configuration through a limited selection of formats or languages, typically just one. AquariWM, on the other hand, communicates with departments (and therefore configuration too) through a universal method of communication, supported by nearly every single programming language, called Inter Process Communication (IPC for short) sockets. You are free to use whatever language and/or way of communicating with the window manager you prefer.

Use it your way

Due to AquariWM's modular approach, there's no limit to the features you can use. If something you'd like to do doesn't exist, make it! You could even release it as a module under the AquariWM GitHub organization if you would like, or you could distribute it separately (or even just use it yourself!) - the choice is yours.

Complete documentation and extensive guides

AquariWM guarantees that all features and all APIs are fully and thoroughly documented before they can be merged with the development branch, and that guides have been written for all features before they can move from the development branch to main. Everything you need to know is available to read.

However...

Please keep in mind that AquariWM is still a small project. AquariWM is in early development, and may not yet provide the full experience of more established window managers. If you would like to help us change that, why not contribute to the project - we're always looking to improve what we have, and everything - big or small, even if this is your first time contributing - is welcomed and appreciated.

Departments

Unfortunately, there are no departments available for AquariWM at this time.

xcb-wm dependency, Cargo.toml metadata updates, docs for GitHub pages

Added xcb-wm as a dependency. Changed the crate name from aquariwm to aquariwm-server. Changed crate-level doc comments to describe what the future for AquariWM might look like.

Window manipulation - moving and resizing windows

This is an early implementation of moving and resizing (floating) windows. Currently, there are issues with this PR, primarily that far too many ConfigureWindow requests are sent to the X server when manipulating windows, causing serious performance concerns. A way of limiting the frequency of updating the window when manipulating windows would ease these performance concerns. Additionally, the window manager should translate the coordinates stored for the current window manipulation if the window is reparented. It should probably also deny ConfigureWindow requests from other sources for the duration of the window manipulation, and handle situations like the window being manipulated requesting to be unmapped, for instance.

Refactor layout of codebase
I have made multiple significant changes to the layout of AquariWM's codebase in this PR:

Moved the window manager setup/initialization to main.rs, as main() acts as an entrypoint.

Moved the event loop and event handlers into an AquariWm struct, so that the state of the window manager can easily be controlled from one centralized location.

WIP: Added log messages using the tracing library for better troubleshooting. I have more to learn here: extra information relevant to a particular log message should be included in a structured manner, as supported by tracing, and the codebase should make use of tracing's spans where applicable.

My hope is that these changes will lay a better foundation to build the window manager around; that placing the initialization and the running of the window manager in two distinct places can make the code easier to maintain, as well as facilitate control of the window manager's current state when that is implemented in the future.

Correct and format comments after change from wrappers.rs to extensions.rs

Some comments were no longer accurate after changing the wrappers made for ConfigureRequestEvent to trait extensions, so I have fixed those in this PR.

3.0.0

Breaking Changes

By default the action now expects SPDX-compliant licenses everywhere. If you were previously using license names in the allow or deny lists make sure they're valid!

What's Changed

Support for external configuration files

You can now specify a configuration file external to your repository. This allows organizations to have a single configuration file for all their repos.

Broader license support

We've added support for a much broader set of project licenses by using GitHub's Licenses API.

SPDX Compliance

All of our license-related code now expects SPDX-compliant licenses or expressions. This allows us to standardize on a license naming scheme that already supports OR/AND expressions.

Disable individual checks

You can now use the boolean options license-check and vulnerability-check to disable either one of the checks. More information in our configuration options.

2.5.1

Adding some quality-of-life improvements to the local development experience. You can now pass a flag to the scripts/scan_pr script using the -c/--config-file flags to use an external configuration file:

Example:

scripts/scan_pr https://github.com/actions/dependency-review-action/pull/294

2.5.0

Fallback on GitHub Licenses API data for missing Dependency Review API Licenses. This should improve our license coverage.

2.4.1

This patch release fixes the bugs below:

Display the dependency name instead of the manifest name in the detailed list of dependents.

Fix an issue where undefined GHSAs would remove filter out all changes.

The window manager can get into a state where two different windows are brought to the top in short succession, which generates two 'enter window' events, causing those two windows to be focused and then brought to the top, continuing the cycle. Obviously, there wouldn't be any problem if the window manager didn't focus windows based on 'enter window' events generated in reaction to that window coming to the top after being focused.
