I just installed on Artix and I seem to have only a grey screen

I used the systemd-less build of LeftWM and seem to have this issue. I'm using openrc.

Hey @mobycs do you have a theme installed? Unfortunately the image isn't loading for me.

A gray screen is indeed the default for the internal theme and hints that leftwm is actually running well except for loading a theme.

You can try the following to launch a window:

  • use the default keybind Super+Shift+Enter to launch a terminal (which one should be determined during the first launch, when the default config gets written to ~/.config/leftwm/config.ron)
  • use another tty to launch the terminal emulator with Display=:0 alacritty (or whatever terminal emulator you want to use)
  • put an up script with this in ~/.config/leftwm (don't forget to chmod +x it):
#!/usr/bin/env bash
alacritty &
