Sway-config/README.md

# Sway-Config
My current SwayWM Setup for Arch Linux. It uses bash Skripts and systemd-utilities. If you want to use it without them, help me improve it. If you want just a full setup for sway-desktop, have a look at [nwg-shell](https://nwg-piotr.github.io/nwg-shell/) at first.

### Includes:
- customizable scripts for menu, screenshots, gammastep and other functions
- many bindsyms ([neo2](https://www.neo-layout.org/) keyboard layout)

### Setting up
- install dependencies
- Place the files in .config in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME

### Recommended Environment
These [Environment Variables](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Environment_Variables) are recommended for using sway:\
export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway\
export XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland\

### Theming
For a consistent Theme across GTK and QT applications you can also set the Adwaita theme (libadwaita) which also has a adwaita-qt version in the AUR. Fontsettings can be done with [fontconfig](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/fontconfig/).

A graphical Interface for this is [nwg-look](https://nwg-piotr.github.io/nwg-shell/nwg-look).
