Description
The nwg-shell project aims to create a consistent, GTK3-based user interface for the sway Wayland Compositor. In order to give the user the greatest possible choice, some interface elements provide several alternative solutions. Just installed shell contains a bunch of presets, which can then be freely modified.
It also works on other wlroots compositors. We already have nwg-launchers packaged but that seems to be deprecated in favor of nwg-shell
Does the requested package meet the package requirements?
Compiled
Is the requested package released?
Yes
