[https://mangowm.github.io/ Mango] is a lightweight, modern [[Wayland]] compositor based on [https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl dwl]. Mango provides features like animations, IPC, different layouts and visual effects.

== Installation ==
As of August 2026, the mango module is not present by default in NixOS and [[Home Manager]] and needs to be imported using [[Flakes]].

Here is an example flake:

{{file|3={
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs?ref=nixos-unstable";
mango = {
url = "github:mangowm/mango";
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
};

outputs = { self, nixpkgs, mango, ... } @ inputs:
{
nixosConfigurations.HOSTNAME = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
specialArgs = { inherit inputs; };
modules = [ ./configuration.nix ];
};
};
}|name=flake.nix|lang=nix}}

== Configuration ==
After adding the new input, mango can be configured using [[Home Manager]]:
{{file|3={ config, pkgs, inputs, ... }:
{
imports = [
inputs.mango.hmModules.mango
];
wayland.windowManager.mango= {
enable = true;
settings = {
animations = 0;
bordercolor="0x595959aa";
bind = [
"SUPER,r,reload_config"
"SUPER,space,spawn,fuzzel"
"SUPER,Return,spawn,foot"
];
};
};
}|name=home.nix|lang=nix}}
