A desktop manager for modular Linux desktop setups.
Pademelon ties together different software and tools to get a working desktop out of the box. It aims to be completely modular, so you can swap out everything as you go. Still one important goal of this software is to provide a desktop that works out of the box - especially with window managers like DWM or i3.
- Launch different daemons required to get a fully working desktop
- Graphical settings application for basic setup and default applications
- Simple, human-readable configuration files
- Modular and easily extendable concept
- Bindings for wallpaper setting, volume and backlight
- Save xrandr configuration and restore on restart
This is a curated set of applications that work well together and provide a user-friendly tiling WM experience. Pademelon provides a default config using these applications, which is also available in the AUR.
