Description

A tiling Wayland desktop can gain visual effects such as shadows, blur, rounded corners, and other eye-candy while keeping a Sway-like workflow. This is useful for users who want i3-style keyboard control without giving up a more polished visual presentation.

The compositor becomes the graphical session, so configuration affects displays, input, workspaces, and application launching. Users should keep a fallback session available while testing new compositor builds.
