About this project

What does WayGL add?

WayGL

Tired of all those pesky X11/Xorg bugs happening because you're using wayland? Well fear no more, I have quite the solution for you.

WayGL will force GLFW to create a wayland window (at the cost of sacrificing your window icon) (NO LONGER AT THE COST OF YOUR ICON!!!) on supported systems (Linux using wayland display server).

WayGL makes use of runtime GLFW platform switching, if your on a supported platform, GLFW will be set to use Wayland. Like this, you don’t have to worry about compiling GLFW specifically for wayland.

Say goodbye to those Xwayland bugs/compatability issues!

1.17.x - 1.18.x - 1.19.x Support tested on LWJGL 3.3.2 compatibility not guaranteed on other versions

LWJGL version can be changed in instance settings in prism launcher
