Description

River desktop widgets and scripts can read compositor status through an Astal library and CLI. This helps custom bars show tags, views, outputs, focus state, and other window-manager information.

It is compositor integration support, not a complete river configuration. Automation should be tested carefully because compositor state changes affect the active desktop session.

How to run

astal-river

Commands: astal-river
