swaylock-effects VS sway

With Swaylock-effects you can use --grace and --fade-in to set some time to react. Hope it helps!

I am using the Fedora 38 Sway Spin and I want to change the swayidle behaviour, because I want to use swaylock-effects instead of swaylock.

I use swaylock-effects (github) instead of plain swaylock because I think it looks nicer, worth looking into for eye candy.

I know this is gonna be downvoted, but if you decide to move to sway in the future, you have swaylock-effects to do exactly that.

Might be possible to make it a custom effect for swaylock-effects

swaylock-effects on the other hand is designed for fancier stuff, has some built in, and has some hooks for custom effects which you could probably use.

Based on this issue, you're only going to get this from writing a script or something to do it, or try a fork like swaylock-effects or something.

I's working when i executing on a terminal. I've this https://github.com/mortie/swaylock-effects

This is partially why i use tools like i3 (/ sway). i like the tool; it works extremely well for me; the design has stayed the same for 20 years; there's no profit motive to come along and fuck everything up. it just works. it is boring in the best way possible.

I also have crashes on sway, but there’s a rough workaround now which prevents the issue totally.

I believe there’s a design issue with Firefox and GTK handling input events; some Wayland compositors have workarounds but others do not.

Firefox is my preferred browser and I hope we can keep its engine alive in this era of Chrome dominance.

I'm seeing this: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Setting-Environmental-Variables but I haven't figured out how to make GDM do it, and I was wondering if there was a super simple "HEY SWAY READ MY .PROFILE" thing I could do.

So I searched around and found the following bug report where this problem and a possible solution was borough up: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/2966 , which was then immediately closed again.

I've been using Sway since late 2019. I like the workflow of a WM. I honestly find it hard to go back to a DE, I like having a minimalistic desktop.

Sway is fast, minimal, and flexible. Their recommended tools/addons are worth a look: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Useful-add-ons-for-sway

From that list I use greetd + tuigreet as my login manager, sway-launcher-desktop for FZF-powered app launching, and wob for lightweight brightness and volume display (send '50' to the wob socket and it'll show 50%; it doesn't get simpler).
