DISCLAIMER

This project is still under heavy development and lacks various features that will be implemented in the future. Here is our Matrix and Discord.

Build instructions

Firstly, read disclaimer above.

Make sure to have NodeJS/npm, C/C++ compiler and rust installed and everything in between if you get any build issues.

Rust installation instructions

NodeJS installation instructions (only if you have an ancient distro)

1. Clone this repository build WayVR dashboard:

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/olekolek1000/wayvr-dashboard.git
cd wayvr-dashboard
npm install
npm run tauri build

Built executable will be available at ./src-tauri/target/release/wayvr_dashboard.

2. Configure wlx-overlay-s

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/galister/wlx-overlay-s.git
cd wlx-overlay-s
cargo build

3. Add this dashboard to the wayvr.yaml file in wlx-overlay-s:

Modify ./src/res/wayvr.yaml file in the wlx-overlay-s repo (you can copy it to the ~/.config/wlxoverlay/wayvr.yaml path if you want to):

dashboard:
  exec: "/home/YOUR_USER/PATH_TO_REPO/wayvr-dashboard/src-tauri/target/release/wayvr_dashboard"
  args: ""
  env: ["GDK_BACKEND=wayland"]

⚠️ Modify exec path accordingly to your executable path!

3. Start wlx-overlay-s:

cd wlx-overlay-s
cargo run

You are all set! You will see a blue "Dash" button in your watch. You can also assign a controller button to toggle it automatically.

Have fun!
