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 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:

• alacritty
• bemenu
• emoji-font (e.g. noto-emoji)
• gammastep
• grim
• mako
• polkit-gnome
• slurp
• acpiclient
• playerctl

install all with: sudo pacman -Syu alacritty bemenu noto-fonts-emoji gammastep grim mako polkit-gnome slurp acpi playerctl
optional: xorg-xwayland

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.
