About the project

Umbriel is an independent Wayland compositor built in C++23 on wlroots, offering scrolling, dwindle and master layouts, per-output workspaces, blur, shadows and animations. It targets users who want a configurable tiling desktop they can run daily, optionally paired with the Noctalia shell.

Useful for
  • Run a nested Umbriel session inside an existing Wayland or X11 desktop to try the layouts.
  • Configure scrolling, dwindle or master layouts per workspace via live-reloaded TOML.
  • Set up per-output workspaces and hotplug handling for a multi-monitor tiling setup.
