Pedro Côrte-Real e3a3917d3a Layout tiled using a width/height fraction
Instead of using container->width/height as both the input and output
of the layout calculation have container->width_fraction/height_fraction
as the share of the parent this container occupies and calculate the
layout based on that. That way the container arrangement can always be
recalculated even if width/height have been altered by things like
fullscreen.

To do this several parts are reworked:

- The vertical and horizontal arrangement code is ajusted to work with
  fractions instead of directly with width/height
- The resize code is then changed to manipulate the fractions when
  working on tiled containers.
- Finally the places that manipulated width/height are adjusted to
  match. The adjusted parts are container split, swap, and the input
  seat code.

It's possible that some parts of the code are now adjusting width and
height only for those to be immediately recalculated. That's harmless
and since non-tiled containers are still sized with width/height
directly it may avoid breaking other corner cases.

Installation

From Packages

Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours. If it's not available, check out this wiki page for information on installation for your distributions.

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

Install dependencies:

  • meson *
  • wlroots
  • wayland
  • wayland-protocols *
  • pcre
  • json-c
  • pango
  • cairo
  • gdk-pixbuf2 (optional: system tray)
  • scdoc (optional: man pages) *
  • git *

*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).
