Native Wayland support ?

Dies with X font error on Arch

X Error of failed request:  BadName (named color or font does not exist)
  Major opcode of failed request:  45 (X_OpenFont)
  Serial number of failed request:  17
  Current serial number in output stream:  35

I believe the issue is likely in gui.hpp on line 66. Perhaps giving the option to the user to supply their own font name would solve this issue?

Thanks for your time, keep up the good work!

Since update to GNOME 40 the window is way to transparent

Since I upgraded to GNOME 40 the window is way to transparent. See example picture.

Please tell me if I can provide more needed information that I forgot.

binary build compatible with raspberry pi 3

more of a request than a issue or feature request..

i just got a pi3 and was wondering if there is any chance you could build for arm7 pi 3 devices?

thanks
