This extends the i3bar protocol implementation with the following features from @Airblade/i3: * background * border * border_top, border_bottom, border_left, border_right A block will now be rendered like this: ``` (border_left + margin) + width + (margin + border_right) + sep ``` Where `border_left/border_right` and their related margin is only drawn if the `border` is specified and the border has a width > 0 (default is 1). `border_top` and `border_bottom` does not affect the height of the bar (no margin is added), thus it will be drawn behind the text if it is too big. The user should specify a bar height if more space between top/bottom borders are required. |

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 ..
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.
