Beginning of Scarlet
· One min read
Welcome to the Scarlet blog.
What is Scarlet?
Scarlet is a project that came out of my discontent with existing wayland shell implementations. I have been searching for a modular wayland shell with sane defaults, one akin to GNOME shell in style and features.
Scarlet provides not only a bar, but an entire shell experience in a relatively small binary. In essence it is not very different from the other options. It mostly aims to be a mix of everything I like in wayland shells, like SCSS-based styling, notification and OSD popups and modular configuration.
The origins of Scarlet are chronicled on my blog post Wayland Shells, and Scarlet.
