Simpler way

Hi

New installs since November 2024 seem to use labwc. So I just edited this file in the home directory;

~ $ nano .config/labwc/autostart

and put this in;
/usr/bin/chromium-browser --noerrdialogs --disable-infobars --kiosk --app=https://google.com

To get the screen to dim when inactive I installed swayidle and added this to the autostart file;
/usr/bin/swayidle -w timeout 60 'echo 3 > /sys/class/backlight/10-0045/brightness' resume 'echo 31 > /sys/class/backlight/10-0045/brightness'

I didn't have any luck with unclutter but that looks like its unnecessary after v.8?

Brilliant!

I run a minimal installation and use the following in my .profile:

pid=$(pgrep labwc)

if [[ -z $pid ]]; then

        echo "Starting..."
        labwc
else
        echo "Already running..."
fi
