## Core Components of the Lumina Desktop

It is **strongly-encouraged** that the "core" of Lumina is built and distributed as a single package. Each of the utilities listed here will explicitly require/use each other for essential functionality.

Binaries:
 * `start-lumina-desktop`: (lumina-session directory) Use this to start the desktop session
 * `lumina-desktop`: (lumina-desktop directory) Use this to communicate with the currently-running session
 * `lumina-open`: (lumina-open directory) Use this to launch external applications. Complement to the `xdg-open` utility.
 * `lumina-info`: (lumina-info directory) View basic information about the desktop itself such as version, license, etc.

Other Files that get installed if "core" is built directly:
 * PREFIX/share/icons/material-design-[light/dark]: Basic SVG icon theme.
 * PREFIX/share/lumina-desktop/themes: Built-in themes for the Lumina desktop
 * PREFIX/share/lumina-desktop/colors: Built-in color schemes for the Lumina desktop
 * PREFIX/share/lumina-desktop/menu-scripts: Built-in scripts for creating menu entries on-demand.
 * PREFIX/share/lumina-desktop/globs2: Fallback XDG mimetype database (in case the system does not have one available)

### Runtime Dependencies (utilities)
1. Required Utilities
   * `xinit`: Used by `start-lumina-desktop` for launching an X11 session if needed.
   * `fluxbox`: Used for window management within the desktop session
   * `xscreensaver`: Screensaver/locker for the desktop session
2. Optional (but recommended) Utilities
   * `numlockx`: Used to toggle the numlock key on session start
   * `compton` *or* `xcompmgr`: Compositor to provide cross-application transparency effects and graphical smoothing
   * `xterm`, `qterminal` or some other graphical terminal: XDG standards require the availability of a graphical terminal to launch particular types of applications.

      * `pc-sysconfig`: Allow system into be put into suspend mode (if supported by hardware)
   2. DragonFlyBSD
      * `xbrightness`: screen brightness control (fake brightness - will not change power consumption)
