# Window manager
Wayfire is a lightweight, functional and good looking wayland window manager which should have been installed during setup. Although normally Wayfire can be configured with the *Wayfire Config Manager* or through `.config/wayfire.ini` it now has to be done with the appropiate `home-manager` config file.
Most applications which have to be auto started should already have been through `runit` which gets started upon logging into the Wayfire session. These "services" are located in `~/.service` and can be managed with the `sv` command.
## Quick overview
Here is an overview of a few of the services and applications which have been installed through `home-manager`:
### Applications
* *Fuzzel*, a fast and versatile application launcher (started with `<super> KEY_SPACE`).
* *Nemo*, an feature rich file manager developed for the Cinnamon desktop (started with `<super> KEY_E`).
* *File-roller*, an archive manager from Gnome which intergrates well with Nemo.
* *Firefox*, a popular open-source web-browser.
### Foreground services
* *Waybar*, a taskbar. it's wayland native and comes with most required functionality including a tray on which a few applets like the Bluetooth manager, USB manager and Network manager can reside.
* *WF-background*, a simple wallpaper daemon.
* *SwayNC*, a notification daemon and center (started with `<super> KEY_TAB`). It's very customisable and has a lot of features like Power Menus and Music players.
* *Pa-notify*, an audio level notifier. It simply displays the current audio level through a notification.
### Background services
* *Pipewire*
* *Kanshi*
* *Playerctld*
* *XDG-desktop-portal-wlroots*
Most services can be configured in their appropriate `home-manager` file.
