Sway-Config

My current SwayWM Setup for Arch Linux. On other Distros there could be problems, if they have no systemd (needed for powermanagement) or are not posix-conform.

Includes:

customizable scripts for menu, screenshots, gammastep and other functions
many bindsyms (neo2 keyboard layout)
already set up to support xwayland and wine (for wine also see this issue)

Setting up

install dependencies
Place the files in .config in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
make shell-scripts executable chmod u+x .config/sway/*.sh
edit the .config/sway/gammastep.ini to your timezone
edit the Output and Input Configuration in .config/sway/config, if neccessary
set Environment
start sway
further information can be found in the sway wiki

Dependencies:

install all with: sudo pacman -Syu alacritty bemenu noto-fonts-emoji gammastep grim mako polkit-gnome slurp acpi playerctl optional you should consider installing xorg-xwayland for support for non-wayland applications

Recommended Environment

These 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.
