Hugo Osvaldo Barrera c16b2a26ed Avoid unecessary font metric calculations
Prior to 62d90a8e, titlebar's font height (and other related values)
would change any time any titlebar's content changed, so these values
were recalculated each time any titlebar's content changed (or a new
titlebar was created).

However, since the above was merge, these values no longer change so
often and we only need to recalculate them when the configured font
changes (and stop calling `config_update_font_height` each time
titlebars are rendered).

This commit removes all the unecessary calls to this function and avoids
all those unecessary calculations. Whenever the font strays from the
default value, the `font` command is called, and it calls
`config_update_font_height`, which is enough to keep the value always up
to date.

I've also added a default value to the `font_baseline` config, since
otherwise that's zero for setups that don't explicitly specify a font.

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 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).
