A production-ready Sway desktop environment setup maintained with Ansible and themed with wpgtk. This project provides a complete, automated installation of a modern tiling window manager with consistent theming across all components.

This repository provides an automated Ansible playbook to set up a complete Sway desktop environment with wpgtk theming.

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/GeoDerp/My-Sway-Build.git
cd My-Sway-Build

# Install required Ansible collections
ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml

# Run the Ansible playbook
make install
# Or: ansible-playbook playbook.yml -e user_home=/var/home/$USER -e target_user=$USER

For detailed installation instructions, configuration options, and troubleshooting, see ANSIBLE_README.md.

After running the playbook, you need to set up wpgtk theming:

# Add a wallpaper to wpgtk
wpg -a /path/to/your/wallpaper.jpg

# Apply the theme (this generates all color schemes)
wpg -s /path/to/your/wallpaper.jpg

# Start Sway
sway

Note: You must apply a wpgtk theme before starting Sway for the first time, otherwise colors won't be properly configured.
