[Feature request] Support other wlroots-based WM

werdahias opened this issue a year ago · comments

I run Hyprland on debian. I built a quick debian package for sway-settings. When I try to launch it I get the following error:


swaysettings 
COULD NOT FIND SWAY SOCKET ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE!!!

Obviously this is because there is no sway socket running but a Hyprland one. I'd appreciate it if you could add support for it.

It would be too much work to maintain two separate systems. I'd consider swapping it out for a wlroots generic one that works on all WMs though. That would make my life a lot easier :)

I'm not even sure if there is such a thing though...

thanks, appreciate the thought. If it was built on top of wlroots it should work on all wayland WMs. sway-notification-center also works on Hyprland, for instance.

Swaync uses dbus while swaysettings parses sway-ipc for mouse and keyboard settings
