<p>Mutter is a Wayland display server and X11 window manager and compositor library.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>When used as a Wayland display server, it runs on top of KMS and libinput. It implements the compositor side of
|
|
|
|
|
|
the Wayland core protocol as well as various protocol extensions. It also has functionality related to running X11
|
|
|
|
|
|
applications using Xwayland.
|
|
|
|
|
|
When used on top of Xorg it acts as a X11 window manager and compositing manager. It contains functionality
|
|
|
|
|
|
related to, among other things, window management, window compositing, focus tracking, workspace management,
|
|
|
|
|
|
keybindings and monitor configuration.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Mutter is used by, for example, <a href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/">GNOME Shell</a>, the GNOME
|
|
|
|
|
|
core user interface, and by <a href="https://github.com/elementary/gala">Gala</a>, elementary OS’s window
|
|
|
|
|
|
manager. It can also be run standalone, using the command “mutter”, but just running plain mutter is only intended
|
|
|
|
|
|
for debugging purposes.</p>
