This does not work as expected. I think the problem is on the wlc side. Please review, @Cloudef. To reproduce the issues: 1. Run sway 2. Open terminal in sway 3. Run swaybg swaybg will create a surface and ask to have it set as the background, but wlc_handle_from_wl_surface_resource will return 0. If the swaybg surface is a shell surface, then it works - but wlc complains about the pointer type and segfaults as soon as the pre-render hook tries to draw the background. |

sway
"SirCmpwn's Wayland window manager" is a work in progress i3-compatible window manager for Wayland. Read the FAQ.
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
Run these commands:
cmake .
make
sudo make install
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 /etc/sway/config
to
~/.config/sway/config
. Run man 5 sway
for information on the configuration.
Running
Run this from a tty (instead of starting x):
sway
If you run it from within x, it will spawn x windows instead of using your hardware directly (useful for development).
