xss-lock listens to X signals to fire up a user-defined screensaver. In effect this automatically locks the screen when closing a laptop lid or after a period of user inactivity (as set with xset s TIMEOUT). The notifier command, if specified, is executed first. Additionally, xss-lock uses the inhibition logic to lock the screen before the system goes to sleep.

This package provides a library for programmatically controlling Xorg windows using Python. The library relies on the wmctrl to do so.

sx is a simple alternative to both xinit and startx for starting an Xorg server.

GNU Xnee is a program that can record, replay and distribute user actions in X11. It can be used to automate user interactions for testing or demonstration purposes.

The xvkbd displays a drawing of a computer keyboard in a window on the screen. Clicking on its keys sends the corresponding keystroke(s) to other X clients, as if typed on a physical keyboard.

This is useful for systems without keyboard hardware but with a pointing device, such as kiosk terminals or handheld devices with touch screens.

A limited number of keyboard layouts are available, as is dictionary completion. You can also use xvkbd to send a series of predetermined keystrokes from the command line, without displaying a keyboard at all.

This package provides on-screen keyboard for wlroots compositors with the following features:

• Typing, modifier locking, layout switching

• Positive visual feedback on key presses

• On-the-fly layout and keymap switching

• Custom color schemes

• International layouts (cyrillic, arabic)

• Emoji support

• Compose key for character variants (e.g. diacritics)

• Show/hide keyboard on signals (SIGUSR1 = hide, SIGUSR2 = show, SIGRTMIN = toggle)

• Automatic portrait/landscape detection and subsequent layout switching

This package provides a small utility for inverting the colors on all monitors attached to an XRandR-capable X11 display server.

The hsetroot command composes wallpapers for X. This package is the fork of hsetroot by Hyriand.

The xwallpaper utility allows you to set image files as your X wallpaper. JPEG, PNG, and XPM file formats are supported.

The wallpaper is also advertised to programs which support semi-transparent backgrounds.

nxbelld is a tiny utility to aid people who either don't like the default PC speaker beep, or use a sound driver that doesn't have support for the PC speaker. The utility performs a given action every time the X bell is rung. The actions nxbelld can currently perform include running a specified program, emulating the PC speaker beep using the sound card (default), or playing a PCM encoded WAVE file.

slop (Select Operation) is a tool that queries for a selection from a user and prints the region to stdout. It grabs the mouse and turns it into a crosshair, lets the user click and drag to make a selection (or click on a window) while drawing a pretty box around it, then finally prints the selection's dimensions to stdout.

Wl-clipboard is a set of command-line copy/paste utilities for Wayland.

Stalonetray is a stand-alone freedesktop.org and KDE system tray (notification area) for X Window System/X11 (e.g. X.Org or XFree86). It has full XEMBED support and minimal dependencies: an X11 lib only. Stalonetray works with virtually any EWMH-compliant window manager.

kbdd is a simple keyboard layout switching program, which is designed to run in an X11 session and remember keyboard layouts on a per-window basis. That can be very handy for a user of a non-US keyboard who does not want to jump through layouts back and forth while typing in terminals (mostly in a latin alphabet) and some kind of chat (in native language).

kbdd also supports D-Bus signals, which makes it possible to create layout indicator widgets.

Xwrits reminds you to take wrist breaks for prevention or management of repetitive stress injuries. When you should take a break, it pops up an X window, the warning window. You click on the warning window, then take a break. The window changes appearance while you take the break. It changes again when your break is over. Then you just resume typing. Xwrits hides itself until you should take another break.

sxhkd is a simple X hotkey daemon with a powerful and compact configuration syntax.

Rofi is a minimalist application launcher. It memorizes which applications you regularly use and also allows you to search for an application by name.

xcalib is a tiny tool to load the content of vcgt-Tags in ICC profiles to the video card's gamma ramp. It does work with most video card drivers except the generic VESA driver. Alter brightness, contrast, RGB, and invert colors on a specific display/screen.

Xautolock monitors input devices under the X Window System, and launches a program of your choice if there is no activity after a user-configurable period of time.

Startup-notification contains a reference implementation of the startup notification protocol. The reference implementation is mostly under an X Window System style license, and has no special dependencies.

XLockMore is a classic screen locker and screen saver for the X Window System.

XBindKeys is a program that allows you to launch shell commands with your keyboard or your mouse under the X Window System. It links commands to keys or mouse buttons, using a configuration file. It's independent of the window manager and can capture all keyboard keys (ex: Power, Wake...). It optionally supports a Guile-based configuration file layout, which enables you to access all XBindKeys internals, so you can have key combinations, double clicks or timed double clicks take actions. Also all functions that work in Guile will work for XBindKeys.

xftwidth is a small C program for calculating the pixel widths of displayed text using Xft fonts. It is especially useful in scripts for displaying text in graphical panels, menus, popups, and notification windows generated using dzen. These scripts are often used in conjunction with minimalistic tiling window managers such as herbstluftwm and bspwm.

wlrctl is a command line utility for miscellaneous wlroots Wayland extensions. At this time, wlrctl supports the foreign-toplevel-mangement (window/toplevel command), virtual-keyboard (keyboard command), and virtual-pointer (pointer command) protocols.
