sxmo-wayout

Output simple text to a Wayland desktop widget

Wayout takes text from standard input and outputs it to a desktop-widget on Wayland desktops. Periodic updates are supported; e.g. newline-separated input or any other delimiter of choice. We call this a feed. The desktop widget can be shown either on top (OSD-like functionality) or below other windows. A Wayland compositor must implement the Layer-Shell and XDG-Output for wayout to work. Features: - Allow updating from standard input at a regular interval; custom delimiters - Configurable colours/border/position/fonts - Supports the pango markup language for text markup/colours.
