Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

A library to write GTK applications that use Layer Shell. Layer Shell is a Wayland protocol for desktop shell components, such as panels, notifications and wallpapers. You can use it to anchor your windows to a corner or edge of the output, or stretch them across the entire output. It supports all Layer Shell features including popups and popovers (GTK popups Just Work™). This Library is compatible with C, C++ and any language that supports GObject introspection files (Python, Vala, etc, see using the library below).
