Ryan Dwyer f5b9815128 Prepare arrange code for type safe arguments
This commit changes the arrange code in a way that will support type
safe arguments.

The arrange_output et al functions are now public, however I opted not
to use them directly yet. I've kept the generic arrange_windows there
for convenience until type safety is fully implemented. This means this
patch has much less risk of breaking things as it would otherwise.

To be type safe, arrange_children_of cannot exist in its previous form
because the thing passed to it could be either a workspace or a
container. So it's now renamed to arrange_children and accepts a list_t,
as well as the parent layout and parent's box.

There was some code which checked the grandparent's layout to see if it
was tabbed or stacked and adjusted the Y offset of the grandchild
accordingly. Accessing the grandparent layout isn't easy when using type
safe arguments, and it seemed odd to even need to do this. I determined
that this was needed because a child of a tabbed container would have a
swayc Y matching the top of the tab bar. I've changed this so a child of
a tabbed container will have a swayc Y matching the bottom of the tab
bar, which means we don't need to access the grandparent layout.  Some
tweaks to the rendering and autoconfigure code have been made to
implement this, and the container_at code appears to work without
needing any changes.

arrange_children_of (now arrange_children) would check if the parent had
gaps and would copy them to the child, effectively making the
workspace's gaps recurse into all children. We can't do this any more
without passing has_gaps, gaps_inner and gaps_outer as arguments to
arrange_children, so I've changed the add_gaps function to retrieve it
from the workspace directly.

apply_tabbed_or_stacked_layout has been split into two functions, as it
had different logic depending on the layout.

Lastly, arrange.h had an unnecessary include of transaction.h. I've
removed it, which means I've had to add it to several other files.

"SirCmpwn's Wayland compositor" is a work in progress i3-compatible Wayland compositor. Read the FAQ. Join the IRC channel (#sway on irc.freenode.net).

Notice: You are viewing the unstable and unsupported master branch of sway, where work is ongoing to port it to wlroots. The supported branch is the 0.15 branch, and end users are encouraged to use the stable releases cut from it.

If you'd like to support sway development, please contribute to SirCmpwn's Patreon page.

Release Signatures

Releases are signed with B22DA89A and published on GitHub.

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:

  • meson
  • wlroots

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).
