Fenveireth 837605d68d swaybar: use text subpixel antialias only where it would look good 
Closes #5605

Text Subpixel antialiasing is :

- FreeType makes glyph bitmaps containing coverage percentage for each
  subpixel, instead of pixel
- Then draw by performing the blend for each subpixel, instead of pixel (e.g.
  dual-source blending in opengl)

And there's only one Alpha channel, so this extra coverage data can't
leave Cairo to reach the compositor through there.
Therefore, it can't work as intended if output text alpha != bar background
alpha. Disable it for those cases, enable it elsewhere

As for color emojis, they are RGBA bitmaps. If drawn with text alpha=1.0
and background alpha=1.0 (should be completely opaque bar), then with
'CAIRO_OPERATOR_SOURCE' then texels with alpha < 1.0 result in a blend with
whatever's behind the bar, instead of the bar background

Release Signatures

Releases are signed with E88F5E48 and published on GitHub.

Installation

From Packages

Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours.

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

Check out this wiki page if you want to build the HEAD of sway and wlroots for testing or development.

Install dependencies:

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

*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).
