Kenny Levinsen 7ec9d07fc5 Remove usage of surface->sx|sy
These coordinates contain the all-time accumulated buffer attach point,
which is a way to perform incremental client-side initiated movement of
windows, intended as a way to maintain logical window positioning while
compensating for layout changes such as folding in a left side panel.

This value is not useful for implementing this feature, and break things
if they ever become non-zero. Their inclusion in calculations also tend
to cause confusion.

Remove usage of these coordinates, removing the ability for clients to
move themselves. This may again be supported if a better API is made
available from wlroots.

Installation

From Packages

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

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

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 *
  • 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, 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).
