Description

Window protocol visibility helps identify which GNOME apps still run through Xwayland. The extension is useful when diagnosing display scaling, input, screen sharing, or Wayland compatibility issues.

It is mainly a desktop diagnostic aid for users, developers, and administrators. It does not convert applications to Wayland; it only helps reveal when a window is using the Xwayland compatibility layer.
