labwc 0.6.1 Released For Window-Stacking Wayland Compositor

Well, I'll be. It does work on Wayfire (once you specify an output file)!

I was reading the web page where it suggests you can just run "grim" without any command line parameters and it should "Screenshoot all outputs." But that example is a dud. The "man grim" documentation is much better.

This is great. Thanks guys!

Nope. I just tried grim on Wayfire 0.7.5 -- doesn't seem to do anything here. So, you have to have a Wayland compositor that supports whatever API grim is using. If Gentoo gets labwc, I might have to switch over.

Grim works on Wayfire, maybe read the manual on how to use it.

It's working fine for me with sway, and I'm pretty sure I used it with wayfire, back when I was running that. I'm also on gentoo, but I installed wayfire using their script off github.

Can't you just use grim? It's been around for quite a while.

Whoa... A screenshot of a Wayland compositor?!? This one actually has screenshotting capability?

Hah, Wayland has caught up with the 80s.

People can joke away, but I'm happy to see this. Turns out in the Fedora 37 repos, so I installed it. I have been using Sway a lot, but I'd like to see what a lightweight Wayland native window manager might have to offer.

Can't wait for the 90s mouse cursor themes / trails now. Hopefully it won't be dead before that.

Nice to see innovation and diversity in window managers and compositors continue even in the post-X11 Wayland world.
