# wlmaker Manual {#mainpage}

<div class="wlmtitle"><img src="wlmaker.svg" alt="logo" class="wlmlogo"> <span class="wlmprefix">Wayland</span>Maker - wlmaker</div>

wlmaker is a [Wayland Compositor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland_(protocol)#Wayland_compositors),
designed to reproduce the behaviour of
[Window Maker](https://www.windowmaker.org/), which reproduces the elegant look
and feel of the [NeXTSTEP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeXTSTEP) user
interface.

**Key features:**

* Compositor for windows in stacking mode.
* Easy to use, lightweight, low on gimmicks and fast.
* Highly configurable and human-readable [config files](#config_file).
* Dock and clip, with support for dockable apps.
