evergarden winter (default)	evergarden summer

Compositor support

• klemmbrett is wayland only, no X11 support.
• daemon requires the wlr-data-control protocol: wlroot based compositors implement it (sway, river, labwc, ...), Hyprland, niri and KDE Plasma, GNOME does not

Install

cargo install klemmbrett

Install the icon and desktop entry, so launchers and docks show it:

    install -Dm644 assets/icon${size}x${size}.png ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/${size}x${size}/apps/klemmbrett.png
