X11 only is a bit of a bummer although I’m not surprised - i don’t think i’d target Wayland either for this sort of thing if i was a happy x11 user already.
I'm actually curious about that - this seems like something that should at least partially work through XWayland? Blindly speculating, it might not work against existing windows, but I'd expect things like system monitors and launching apps to not care.
To be honest, I am not sure, I will be working on those as the next big thing for Docking. I am uncertain of how much I can achieve on Wayland. Looking forward.
Tested today, most of it works using XWayland. Some applets won't like windows killer as it uses xkill, also some feature like window preview as Wayland do not give access to other screens, but also features like having the dock follow the mouse across different monitors.
Yes, indeed. The next I will be working with is Wayland. Let's see how hard that will be. I am sure there will be applet that I will never be able to port like Window killer that users xkill, etc.
