Fireplace is a lightweight, modular Wayland tiling window manager written in Rust. Built on Smithay or wlc (in older code), it supports floating windows, BSP-style tiling, layer-shell basics, and workspace concepts. It aims to serve as a rapid-development playground for rich, keyboard-driven desktop workflows with GNOME compatibility goals.

Features

  • Modular architecture using Smithay
  • Floating and BASP-style tiled windows
  • Basic layer-shell UI rendering
  • Multi-workspace awareness (planned/partial)
  • Lightweight, rapid-build environment
  • Rust-native, MIT-licensed
