info on labwc

Labwc, a Wayland window-stacking compositor, doesn’t have screen saver settings. However, you can configure Labwc to do other things, such as:
Set a shortcut to a launcher: Create a configuration file at ~/.config/labwc/rc.xml and add a entry.
Start a background-image client and a panel: Add the command to ~/.config/labwc/autostart.
Labwc is a lightweight compositor that stacks windows and renders some window decorations. It’s inspired by openbox and takes a simple approach, avoiding features like animations.

on pi those files are in

/etc/xdg/labwc/autostart
/etc/xdg/labwc/rc.xml
/etc/xdg/labwc/environment

none of that appears changed when setting screen dimming on in raspi-config
none of the script older settings are triggered

Just wanted to say thanks for the hard work!

P.S. Sorry for cluttering the post. :)

@bugsounet yes, I saw the same, none of the older settings trigger, but haven’t found a new one…

@sdetweil I have coded screen turn on/off for labwc compositor on MMM-Pir

sdetweil

@bugsounet yes, I saw…

but I am looking for the config option to have system NOT dim/turn off display…
I don’t want to DO it…
altho I should upgrade my MMM-SleepWake

lxne

@sdetweil hi, have you changed the full screen behavior anyhow?
I switched to labwc on my pi4 (an existing MM installation) and now always when the screen turns on, after it turned off (MMM-Pir), the task bar is visible and MM is only maximized but not in full screen mode anymore.

I updated everything, but that didn’t help.
Any ideas why this is happening?

Best wishes,
Alex

@lxne no change… labwc is behaving differently when turned off…and back on. I don’t think it was in their testcases
