If the output is not at the correct size then that info must be queried from wlc. The output size is used by e.g. seamless mouse to detect output edges. With this patch the output size is now correct and the workspace size is adjusted according to any panels. Without this patch seamless mouse would fail to detect outputs above/below each other if there was a panel in between because the output would offically end where the panel started, not at the actual screen edge. |

sway
"SirCmpwn's Wayland window manager" is a work in progress i3-compatible window manager for Wayland. Read the FAQ. Join the IRC channel (#sway on irc.freenode.net).
Rationale
I use i3 on xorg. Wayland is coming, and i3way still has zero lines of source code after two years.
Status
Installation
From Packages
sway is not supported by many distributions yet. Here's a list of packages available for you to install:
For other distros, see this wiki page.
Compiling from Source
Install dependencies:
- cmake
- wlc
- wayland
- xwayland
- asciidoc
- pcre
- json-c
- pango
- cairo
- gdk-pixbuf2
Run these commands:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make
sudo make install
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 located at /etc/sway/config
, unless the
DFALLBACK_CONFIG_DIR
flag has been set. Run man 5 sway
for information on
the configuration.
Running
Instead of running startx
, run sway
. You can run sway
from within X as
well, which is useful for testing.
