Improving the default out-of-the-box experience.
I wonder if anyone would be interested in helping me with improving CoW when it has no user config available?
For the past week I've been working on this, to do things such as:
* Add a welcome screen in CoW explaining what is possible.
* Add a "default" cowbuttons instance showing useful things.
If you're interested in helping improve this, have a look at the `ta/starter-desktop` branch in cow:
https://codeberg.org/cow-wm/cow/src/branch/ta/starter-desktop
If you already have a config file in ~/.config/cow/ -- I would suggest starting cow as:
river -c 'cow -c /dev/null'
I'd be interested in what you think!
Oh, part of this work (and this week for that matter) is I finally wrote a xdc-menu aware generator for wayland applications (looking at .desktop files) which forms a big part of this default-starter idea.
I will eventually spin this command as a standalone application, but for now it's a part of CoW.
I'm not good at all with themes/styles (as you can tell from all my other screenshots). So what I've come up with is functional, but isn't necessarily pretty.
If you're interested in helping, come and see us in `#cow-wayland` on irc.libera.chat
What is cow? It's a stacking window manager using River as the compositor:
