ppkui_bar is a native wayland client for providing a bottom touch bar.

ppkui_bar --config bar.toml

• Using a custom font generated by glyphter.
• Wayland layer-shell protocol support.
• Configuration file.
• Touch and pointer event handling.
• Command execution.

Several features have not yet been implemented:

• Hardware acceleration, font hinting.
• Using a virtual keyboard protocol to emulate keystrokes instead of command execution (may be a bit faster and efficient).
• Multitouch handling?
• Packaging for some distros.

Overall it is quite rough around the edges at this point, although it is usable.

ppkui_menu is a dmenu-like native wayland application launcher.

# example
(echo A; echo B; echo C) | ppkui_menu --config launcher.toml

# application launcher
j4-dmenu-desktop --dmenu='ppkui_menu --config '.../launcher.toml --term='xterm'

• Reading list of options from /dev/stdin
• Configuration file.
• Using a font provided in configuration file.
• Touch and pointer event handling.
• Touch scrolling.

Several features have not yet been implemented:

• Hardware acceleration, font hinting.
• Keyboard input.
• Finding font by name (full file path is currently required).
• Displaying prompt messages.
• Arbitrary text input (critical, required for networkmanager-dmenu).
