inject-ozone-wl

A hack to force certain electron processes to run with wayland support. It uses LD_PRELOAD to override __libc_start_main() so we can wrap the main() method to inject the --ozone-platform=wayland and --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations flags into the running process.

Compiling

gcc inject-ozone-wl.c -o inject-ozone-wl.so -fPIC -shared -ldl

Installing

sudo cp inject-ozone-wl.so /usr/local/lib/

Usage

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/inject-ozone-wl.so myprogram
