I just tried #sway 1.10.1 on #Linux but still have the same bugs I had with 1.10: All my desktop backgrounds now black, whether I use a solid background or an image as a background.
I'm going to return to using #swayfx and hope that after SwayFX updates to be based on 1.10.1 that this bug doesn't come with it.
There are a still a number of open 1.10 regressions in the Sway bug tracker, so I'm not trying to isolate and report this as a new issue now.
#Linux: Has anyone tried the "jay" Sway-like #Wayland compositor that's written in #rust ?
I noticed today because they have already implemented and released a few days ago some of the new Wayland protocols that Sway is just now releasing today in Sway 1.10.
Not sure it's feature set overlaps with Sway's, but it appears they aren't attempting any the #swayfx UI features like rounded corners or drop shadows.
@reallychris Looks like the #swayfx `blur` option may be for blurring semi-transparent windows backgrounds, but I'm not interested in that affect so I can just remove that from my config.
@reallychris This morning I found a middle ground which so far I can easily recommend, which is the #SwayFX fork. https://github.com/WillPower3309/swayfx
It's a drop-in replacement in that it provides binaries named `sway`, `swaymsg`, etc, and all my existing configuration was compatible. I added just these three lines to my Sway config after switching to the fork:
blur enable
corner_radius 10
shadows enable
I'm still not sure what the `blur` option is doing, though.
