wlogout was created to replace oblogout with a native logout script for Wayland. It also seeks to be a faster alternative that does not rely on depracated technology such as python 2; while maintaining a small code footprint.

You can run wlogout from any Wayland environment and it should just work.

Wlogout searches for a layout and style.css file in the following locations, in this order:

1.$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wlogout/
2./etc/wlogout/
3./usr/local/etc/wlogout

If unset, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaults to ~/.config/.

An error is raised when no layout file is found; However, the style.css file is optional. If you would like to customise either it is recommended that you copy the defaults from /etc/wlogout/ into ~/.config and make any changes there.
