Description

A GTK library for creating Wayland desktop components with the Layer Shell protocol, such as panels, docks, launchers, and overlays. It lets applications use desktop layers instead of behaving like normal windows.

Install it when building GTK Wayland shell components. Layer-shell behavior is compositor-dependent, so test on the target desktop environment.
