This commit implements the StatusNotifierItem protocol, and enables swaybar to show tray icons. It also uses `xembedsniproxy` in order to communicate with xembed applications. The tray is completely optional, and can be disabled on compile time with the `enable-tray` option. Or on runtime with the bar config option `tray_output none`. Overview of changes: In swaybar very little is changed outside the tray subfolder except that all events are now polled in `event_loop.c`, this creates no functional difference. Six bar configuration options were added, these are detailed in sway-bar(5) The tray subfolder is where all protocol implementation takes place and is organised as follows: tray/sni_watcher.c: This file contains the StatusNotifierWatcher. It keeps track of items and hosts and reports when they come or go. tray/tray.c This file contains the StatusNotifierHost. It keeps track of sway's version of the items and represents the tray itself. tray/sni.c This file contains the StatusNotifierItem struct and all communication with individual items. tray/icon.c This file implements the icon theme protocol. It allows for finding icons by name, rather than by pixmap. tray/dbus.c This file allows for asynchronous DBus communication. See #986 #343 |

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:
- cmake
- wlc
- wayland
- xwayland
- libinput >= 1.6.0
- libcap
- asciidoc
- pcre
- json-c
- pango
- cairo
- gdk-pixbuf2 *
- pam **
- imagemagick (required for image capture with swaygrab)
- ffmpeg (required for video capture with swaygrab)
*Only required for swaybar, swaybg, and swaylock
**Only required for swaylock
Run these commands:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR=/etc ..
make
sudo make install
On systems with logind, you need to set a few caps on the binary:
sudo setcap cap_sys_ptrace=eip /usr/local/bin/sway
sudo setcap cap_sys_tty_config=eip /usr/local/bin/sway
On systems without logind, you need to suid the sway binary:
sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway
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.
My own dotfiles are available here if you want some inspiration, and definitely check out the wiki as well.
Running
Instead of running startx, run sway. You can run sway from within X as
well, which is useful for testing.
