# Sway configuration
This is my `~/.config/sway/config`, and `…config.d/`. The main config contains
thinks that I have felt as essential or otherwise felt like putting there,
but as I love include directives, a lot is in the config.d.
## Themes
2023-02-21 16:54:39 +01:00
My i3 config says that on Debian the packages are:
`sudo apt install lxappearance gtk-chtheme qt4-qtconfig qt5ct`
The source for that is marked as https://askubuntu.com/a/600946
2023-02-21 16:54:39 +01:00
Additionally apparently my `~/.xprofile` specifies `GTK_THEME` which
I have hoped to get get detected/understood by browsers etc, but I think
I decided to not import that to Sway which naturally doesn't read xprofile.
Apparently Adwaita must be set to dark theme in `gnome-control-center`
### Fonts
Using the same apps and `gnome-tweaks` (as there are probably a lot of
methods setting fonts):
2023-02-21 16:54:39 +01:00
- User-interface text: Noto Serif Regular 10
- Document text: Noto Serif Regular 11
- Monospace text: Noto Sans Mono Regular 10
- Legacy window title text: Noto Serif Bold 11
2023-02-21 18:33:31 +01:00
- Apparently this means "apps that don't use client-side decorations"
The number behind is obviously the number and it's based on what were the
defaults before I touched them so I am hoping GNOME knows what they are
doing.
Noto should have all characters, looks good enough to my eyes, I guess Serif
makes a distinguishion between letters "I" and "l", it doesn't seem to have
a Mono variant, but the Sans is close enough.
Where reading speed is needed, `OpenDyslexic` is nice, but some applications
have trouble handling it, e.g. mpv (makes Ä and Ö and Å all Å) and Firefox
(makes 8 look like 6 and other weirdness).
Other font settings in GNOME-Tweak:

- Hinting: _a bit_
2023-02-21 18:33:31 +01:00
- for no particular reason
2023-02-21 16:54:39 +01:00
- Antialiasing: _Subpixel (for LCD-displays)_
2023-02-21 18:33:31 +01:00
- I have no idea where there are "standard grayscale" displays that aren't
LCD.
### Screen mirroring
[Officially unsupported for now]()
Workarounds:
2023-02-21 16:54:39 +01:00
- Use VNC (see my Scripts repo [`bash/swaymirror.bash`](https://gitea.blesmrt.net/mikaela/scripts/src/branch/master/bash/swaymirror.bash))
- Do something weird with OBS
- Use a dedicated application that don't seem to be in Fedora repos, flatpak
2023-02-21 18:33:31 +01:00
or snap.
