WayVR Dashboard is a work-in-progress overlay application (WayVR/wlx-overlay-s plugin via IPC) for launching various applications and games directly into a VR desktop environment.

Quick setup

Method 1: Via Envision:

Open "Plugins" and install the newest WayVR Dashboard release:

That's it. No further configuration is required.

Method 2: Package manager

Arch Linux:

Package name: aur/wayvr-dashboard-git

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wayvr-dashboard-git

Method 3: Via Releases page:

Unzip the newest WayVR Dashboard, and link the AppImage file in the wayvr.yaml config file

Method 4: Manual compilation

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)

After compiling, configure wlx-overlay-s accordingly.

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

Assigning WayVR Dashboard to the WayVR config in wlx-overlay-s

1. Go to ~/.config/wlxoverlay/wayvr.conf.d directory and create a file named e.g. dashboard.yaml with the following content:

dashboard:
  exec: "/home/YOUR_DIR/wayvr-dashboard.AppImage"
  args: ""
  env: []

⚠️ Modify exec path accordingly to your executable path!

In case if you have it installed from the package manager, you can simply put "wayvr-dashboard" to the exec.

And now you can start wlx-overlay-s via Envision, or manually:

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!
