=== Automatic startup on boot ===
The snippet below will start Sway immediately on startup, without a greeter and '''without login prompt'''. Only consider using this in conjunction with [[Full Disk Encryption]]!
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
services.getty = {
  autologinUser = "your_username";
  autologinOnce = true;
};
environment.loginShellInit = ''
    [[ "$(tty)" == /dev/tty1 ]] && sway

=== Cursor is missing icons or too tiny on HiDPI displays ===


Using [[Home Manager]] try configuring a general mouse cursor size and theme
==== With programs.sway ====
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix>
{
  programs.sway.extraPackages = with pkgs; [
    adwaita-icon-theme # mouse cursor and icons
    gnome-themes-extra # dark adwaita theme
    ...
  ];
}
</syntaxhighlight>
 
In ~/.config/sway/config
<syntaxhighlight>
seat "*" xcursor_theme Adwaita 32
</syntaxhighlight>
 
==== With Home Manager ====
 
Using [[Home Manager]] try configuring a general mouse cursor size and theme. The reason that your cursor might be missing in some applications, is because <code>XCURSOR_THEME</code>is missing, which will cause applications relying on <code>XWAYLAND</code> to misbehave. Setting <code>sway.enable = true</code>, combined with the <code>name</code>, <code>package</code> and size will set the correct environment variables, which sway will then use.

=== Screen sharing with Firefox, Chromium ===
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
{ pkgs, ... }:
{
  # xdg portal + pipewire = screensharing
  xdg.portal = {
    enable = true;
    wlr.enable = true;
  };
  services.pipewire = {
    enable = true;
    alsa.enable = true;
    pulse.enable = true;
  };
}
</syntaxhighlight>
=== Screen dimming with  wl-gammarelay-rs ===
Add <code>wl-gammarelay-rs</code> to programs.sway.extraPackages, then add the following to sway config:
<syntaxhighlight>
# start daemon
exec wl-gammarelay-rs
# bind shortcut to reset brightness
bindsym $mod+Control+0 exec busctl --user set-property rs.wl-gammarelay / rs.wl.gammarelay Brightness d 1
# bind shortcut to dim screen for a particular output
bindsym $mod+Control+Underscore exec busctl --user set-property rs.wl-gammarelay /outputs/DP_1 rs.wl.gammarelay Brightness d 0.5
</syntaxhighlight>
=== Inhibit swayidle/suspend when fullscreen ===
Add to sway config:
<syntaxhighlight>
# When you use `for_window` the command you give is not executed
# immediately. It is stored in a list and the command is executed
# every time a window opens or changes (eg. title) in a way that
# matches the criteria.
# inhibit idle for fullscreen apps
for_window [app_id="^.*"] inhibit_idle fullscreen
</syntaxhighlight>
