Dudemanguy 3d5ae9813d xdg_shell: update wlr_toplevel size on client resizes
If a floating client resizes itself, sway updates several of its
internal dimensions to match but not wlr_toplevel. This means that the
next time wlroots sends a toplevel configure event, it can have wrong
coordinates that resize the client back to its old size. To fix this,
let's just use wlr_xdg_toplevel_set_size so the wlr_toplevel has the
same dimensions as sway.

Exactly the same as 0183b9d35d but the
logic is onlly applied to xdg_shell and not xwayland.

Installation

From Packages

Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours.

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 *
  • pcre2
  • 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).
