Re: Ambrosia Desktop Environment

The Backend is coming along, the main issue I'm experiencing with the
Wayland backend is draging/dropping of Icons, I'm not 100% sure it's the
backend. It's causing some issues with my Dock application. I've been able
to get the MenuServer working and reimplemented WildMenus with Wayland
Support.
Here's the latest screenshot. I got the SystemPreferences.app plugin
working as well so you can control the Compositor and Dock settings from
System Preferences.
