# maynard This is a desktop shell client for Weston based on GTK. It was based on weston-gtk-shell, a project by Tiago Vignatti. ## Original idea The idea is that this client and any other based on any toolkit can be interchangeable to use with a single desktop plugin like the [weston desktop plugin](https://github.com/tiagovignatti/weston-desktop-plugin). Therefore, one compositor, with a single desktop plugin can be used as a foundation for building different shell UIs based on different graphics toolkits. http://vignatti.wordpress.com/2013/03/05/ui-customization-on-wayland/
