S. Christoffer Eliesen 6750975b9f arrange_windows_r: Round pixels to match reality, fixes calculations. If the width or height of a container can't be evenly distributed to its children, then the layout algorithm still thought it got it right (due to using decimals) which caused a gap of one or more pixels for some window arrangements. This is fixed by this patch by first rounding off the width and height (so that decimals are never introduced) and then adjusting the last view in a container to fill the remaining pixels (which now is counted correctly due to the decimals being removed). Also, due to the way gaps are implemented, an odd sized gap can never be aligned properly, so just adjust to closest even number.		2015-12-28 14:58:17 +01:00

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 *
pam **

*Only required for swaybar, swaybg, and swaylock

**Only required for swaylock

Run these commands:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR=/etc ..
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 usually located at /etc/sway/config. 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.
