-Labwc is a wlroots-based stacking compositor for Wayland.
+Labwc stands for Lab Wayland Compositor, with lab indicating a sense
+of experimentation and treading new ground.
 
-It aims to be light-weight and independent, with a focus on simply
-stacking windows well and rendering some window decorations. Where
-practicable, it uses clients for wall-paper, panels, screenshots, and
-so on.
+It is a wlroots-based stacking compositor aiming to be light-weight
+and independent, with a focus on simply stacking windows well and
+rendering some window decorations. It relies on clients for
+wall-paper, panels, screenshots, and so on to create a full desktop
+environment.
+
+Labwc tries to stay in keeping with wlroots and sway in terms of
+general approach and coding style.
+
+In order to avoid re-inventing configuration & theme syntax,
+openbox-3.4 specification is used. This does not mean that labwc is an
+openbox clone but rather that configuration files will look and feel
+familiar.
