PKGBUILD for us Arch users

[ErikReider]

• Description:
  A regular PKGBUILD would be cool for us who want to easily test this cool fork :)

Editing the regular sway-git PKGBUILD would also work.

Btw, kinda unrelated but what's the difference between this and sway-borders? Both of these projects want to achieve the same goal

Thanks for raising the issue! A PKGBUILD will be supplied once rounded corners is merged and blur is implemented (which should be a half week or so), I'll add this to the initial release milestone. The majority of the work done so far was in making the renderer itself which is complete, however functionally near identical to the original wlr_renderer used in sway (so if this fork was to be packaged it would be almost identical to sway).

sway-borders is a fantastic repo, which takes a different type approach to rounded corners and borders. I wanted this repo to focus on rendering the rounded corners within the window itself, instead of applying them around the window. The sway-borders implementation is likely faster and allows for more customization, but rounding windows "internally" is much easier to make look good on a number of windows regardless of their color (as in sway-borders, you must match the corner / border colors), as well as being simpler to configure. I had this repo handy for the minimize scratchpad patch, and hadn't wanted to work around the existing rounded corner implementation in sway-borders.

The sway-borders maintainer and I are actually in talks now of collaboration, as they were also working on "internal" rounded corners. Stay tuned!

Great work! Rounded corners are now merged, once blur is done I'll use this PKGBUILD!

[ErikReider]

The rounded corners seem to work just fine! :)

The only issues that I'm experiencing is the lack of AA (mentioned before by sway-borders maintainer) and the border radius which is mentioned in another issue

Good to hear! AA will be added, I'll make an issue for it now! I'm going to implement blur first (just because I'm too excited about it to wait haha), but will add AA prior to release

[WillPower3309]

I lied, blur is frustrating. AA implementation in #18

The corners seem a little off so I'll give it another look over prior to merging

[WillPower3309]

@ErikReider once 0.1 is released, would you be comfortable maintaining this PKGBUILD on the AUR?

[ErikReider]

I'd be happy to :)

[ErikReider]

What distro are you running? I'm running Arch on my desktop and I've been testing Fedora on my laptop so a RPM spec file would also be a good to have :)

I've managed to automate the upload and building of SwayNotificationCenters spec file on every release so I could do the same here. I'd also like to do the same with the PKGBUILD to make my life easier

[WillPower3309]

That's huge, sounds like a great idea! Thanks a ton for the work there. I'm using nixOS, and already have a build working there! Looks like we'll have good coverage upon release
