Description

something i would love to see is a widget changing the settings of the « annotate » wayfire plugin over the ipc to allow for a smooth time drawing over the desktop.

I’ll probably take a jab at it at some point, but… if someone wants to beat me to it ;)

Research direction

Start by locating the panel widget implementations and the Wayfire annotate plugin's IPC interface. Define which annotate settings the widget should expose and how the controls map to IPC requests. Done means the panel provides a usable way to change those settings while drawing over the desktop.
