A Python/PyQt graphical interface for configuring Wacom tablets on MATE/KDE desktop environments.
wacom-gui is a Python/PyQt application that provides a graphical interface for configuring Wacom tablets on Linux systems with MATE or KDE desktop environments. It allows users to customize express keys, stylus pressure curves, touch settings, and display mapping through an intuitive GUI rather than command-line tools. The application supports multiple tablets simultaneously and persists configurations across sessions.
Linux users with Wacom tablets who want graphical control over tablet settings, particularly artists, designers, and professionals using MATE or KDE desktop environments who need precise tablet configuration.
It offers a more complete and user-friendly alternative to limited system tablet configuration dialogs, with features like multi-tablet support, custom hotkeys, and persistent configurations that aren't typically available in standard Linux desktop settings.
