Swayfire

Sway/I3 inspired tiling window manager for Wayfire.

This project aims to improve upon sway/i3wm features as a plugin for the Wayfire compositor.

Currently, Swayfire implements most tiling features, optional decorations, and mouse resizing and moving of windows/tiled parents. See here for a roadmap towards the first stable release.

NOTE: Swayfire is currently still in early development and not meant to be used yet.

Notable planned features:

• Sway/i3-like Window decorations (borders, titles, and tabbed and stacked titles as in Sway/i3)
• Sway/i3-inspired ipc
• Option for rounded corners (wherever it makes sense)
• Scratchpad
• Custom tiling styles achievable through lua callbacks (binary split, master-stack layout, ...).
• Public API for writing Swayfire-specific Wayfire plugins.
