A window & compositing manager based on libmutter and designed by elementary for use with Pantheon.

This fork backports elementary OS 6.0's touchegg-based gestures to elementary OS 5.1. It's not guaranteed to be stable or perfect. You are probably better off just waiting for elementary OS 6.0 to ship.

You'll need the following dependencies:

• meson
• gettext (>= 0.19.6)
• gnome-settings-daemon-dev (>= 3.15.2),
• gsettings-desktop-schemas-dev
• libcanberra-dev
• libcanberra-gtk3-dev

• libplank-dev (>= 0.10.9)
• libxml2-utils
• valac (>= 0.28.0)

Run meson build to configure the build environment. Change to the build directory and run ninja to build

meson build --prefix=/usr
cd build
ninja

You can set the documentation option to true to build the documentation. In the build directory, use meson configure

meson configure -Ddocumentation=true

To install, use ninja install, then execute with gala --replace

sudo ninja install
gala --replace
