Ankit Pandey 90c2d631e2 root: Try to preserve relative positions of floating containers 
This makes the behavior of floating containers more consistent with i3.
The coordinates of the container are scaled when the size of the
workspace it is on changes or when the container is moved
between workspaces on different outputs.

For scratchpad containers, add a new state that preserves the dimensions
of the last output the window appeared on. This is necessary because
after a container is hidden in the scratchpad, we expect it to be in the
same relative position on the output when it reappears. We can't just
use the container's attached workspace because that workspace's
dimensions might have been changed or the workspace as a whole could
have been destroyed.

Installation

From Packages

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

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 *
  • pcre2
  • 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 nor seatd, 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).
