# 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.

### Includes:
- customizable scripts for menu, screenshots, gammastep and other functions
- many bindsyms ([neo2](https://www.neo-layout.org/) keyboard layout)
- already set up to support xwayland and wine (for wine also see [this issue](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Sway#Mouse_not_working_in_WINE_applications))

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

- edit the .config/sway/gammastep.ini to your timezone
- edit the Output and Input Configuration in .config/sway/config, if neccessary
- set Environment

- further information can be found in the [sway wiki](https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Running-programs-natively-under-wayland)

### 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\

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.
