Are there any Wayland compositor 'toolkits'? :boost_requested:

I'm thinking something that lets you design your own compositor by writing limited code and configuration.

Not locked into a specific paradigm and more capable than just "customize this off-the-shelf WM", but less work than rolling your own with a bunch of libraries.

(Customizable WMs *may* be suitable answers, if you can customize both their appearance and behaviour far enough that a user would not be able to identify the underlying WM from using a customized installation, as an imperfect yardstick.)

@joepie91 I’m not sure if this would be the easiest thing to do in Wayland. I don’t think it’s necessarily designed for composability like this

But I would be happy to be proven wrong

@Byte Wayland is just the protocol that applications and the compositor speak to each other basically; it doesn't introduce any constraints on how the compositor can work (unlike X) so I don't see any reason why this wouldn't be possible on a theoretical level
