Casilda is a new open-source project by GNOME developer Juan Pablo Ugarte to serve as a Wayland compositor widget. Casilda allows for embedding other processes windows within a GTK4 application.
Casilda is a GTK widget that allows for adding a Wayland compositor to your application window. Casilda exposes a Unix socket file to connect to the compositor and its API also allows specifying a background color for the widget area. In turn you can end up easily running separate Wayland app processes within your GTK window:
Those wanting to learn more about Casilda can do so via the inaugural [1]announcement for the first stable release of this Wayland compositor widget. The code is available on the [2]GNOME.org GitLab .
