SwayFX: A Beautiful Sway Fork
Sway is an incredible window manager, and certainly one of the most well established wayland window managers. However, it is restricted to only include the functionality that existed in i3. This fork ditches the simple wlr_renderer, and replaces it with our fx_renderer, capable of rendering with fancy GLES2 effects. This, along with a couple of minor changes, expands sway's featureset to include the following:
- Anti-aliased rounded corners, borders, and titlebars
- Per application saturation control: Allows the user to set the saturation (Digital Vibrance) for specific applications. Great for some FPS games!
- Scratchpad treated as minimize: Allows docks, or panels with a taskbar, to correctly interpret minimize / unminimize requests (thanks to LCBCrion)
- Add a nix flake to the repo: Allows nixos users to easily contribute to and test this project
New Configuration Options
- Corner radius:
corner_radius <val> - Application saturation:
for_window [CRITERIA HERE] saturation <set|plus|minus> <val 0.0 <-> 2.0>
Roadmap
- fade in / out animations
- window movement animations
- drop shadows
- blur
Installation
Compiling from Source
This project contains a nix flake for those who have the nix package manager installed. This flake handles installing the below dependencies when nix develop is ran inside of the project root. Otherwise, the below dependencies must be installed prior to building and running this project.
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
SwayFX will drop root permissions shortly after startup.
Contributing
SwayFX would love to receive any new features that you're willing to build! Generally, we'd like to focus on eye-candy type improvements to keep our scope appropriate. If you'd like to build something that you think may be out of that focus, please raise an issue and we can discuss whether or not it will fit within this project.
Here's a quick outline of where most of our changes lie vs the main sway repository:
sway/desktop/render.c: the file that handles callingfx_rendererto render to the screen, handles damage tracking and scalingsway/desktop/fx_renderer.c: the meat and potatoes of this project, structured as similarly to wlr_renderer as possiblesway/desktop/shaders: where all of the shaders that fx_renderer uses live
