Pedro Côrte-Real 8008344762 Avoid numerical instability in resize
Because the layout code rounds down the dimensions of the windows
resizing would often be off by one pixel. The width/height fraction
would not exactly reflect the final computed width and so the resize
code would end up calculating things wrong.

To fix this first snap the container size fractions to the pixel grid
and only then do the resize. Also use round() instead of floor() during
layout to avoid a slightly too small width. This applies in two cases:

1. For the container we are actually resizing using floor() might result
   in being 1px too small.
2. For the other containers it might result in resizing them down by 1px
   and then if the container being resized is the last all those extra
   pixels would make the resize too large.

Fixes #4391

Installation

From Packages

Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours. If it's not available, check out this wiki page for information on installation for your distributions.

If you're interested in packaging sway for your distribution, stop by the IRC channel or shoot an email to sir@cmpwn.com for advice.

Compiling from Source

Install dependencies:

  • meson *
  • wlroots
  • wayland
  • wayland-protocols *
  • pcre
  • json-c
  • pango
  • cairo
  • gdk-pixbuf2 (optional: system tray)
  • scdoc (optional: man pages) *
  • git *

*Compile-time dep

Run these commands:

meson build
ninja -C build
sudo ninja -C build install

On systems without logind, you need to suid the sway binary:

sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway

Sway will drop root permissions shortly after startup.

Configuration

If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to ~/.config/sway/config and it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to ~/.config/sway/config. It is usually located at /etc/sway/config. Run man 5 sway for information on the configuration.

Running

Run sway from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
