nwg-shell (base shell and utils for Sway-based shell)
Base package of utils and configurations for nwg-shell.
This package acts as a meta-package to pull in all
the dependencies for building the entire nwg-shell
project.
Installation of the nwg-shell WM on Slackware:
First build/install this package and all of
the dependencies.
Ensure your $USER is in the 'video' group.
1. Run (as $USER) 'xdg-user-dirs-update'
(first launch only)
2. then Run 'nwg-shell-installer -a'
(installs default skeleton config)
3. Launch 'sway'
After initial setup, one need only exec
'sway' to load nwg-shell.
By default nwg-shell uses:
-playerctl (media player)
-Firefox (web browsing)
-mousepad (text editor)
-thunar (file explorer)
-gtklock (lockscreen)
Ensure you have a full Slackware install
(or everything but /kde). Default apps are
from XFCE, so ensure you've installed the
xfce/ package series.
All defaults are user configurable within the WM.
