    A library to create panels and other desktop components for Wayland using the Layer Shell protocol and GTK4

  • Fixed to properly use enums per: https://github.com/wmww/gtk4-layer-shell/pull/20

  • nwg-wrapper

    Wrapper to display a script output or a text file content on the desktop in sway or other wlroots-based compositors

  • Here's a script that uses nwg-wrapper to display a countdown - it would be easy to modify it to display a digital clock.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • osd_clock

    A clock which uses the X On-Screen Display library (Linux)

  • I'm searching something like osd_clock for swaywm: It's a little, digital clock, that hovers transparently above the other windows. This way, I always have the time only a glance away. wlclock comes closely, but unfortunately this is an analog clock (with hands) and I can't stand that :)=)

  • dotfiles

  • Here's a script that uses nwg-wrapper to display a countdown - it would be easy to modify it to display a digital clock.
