An integer is + recommended, but fractional values are also supported. If a fractional + value are specified, be warned that it is not possible to faithfully + represent the contents of your windows - they will be rendered at the next + highest integral scale factor and downscaled. You may be better served by + setting an integral scale factor and adjusting the font size of your + applications to taste. + +*output* <name> background|bg <file> <mode> + Sets the wallpaper for the given output to the specified file, using the + given scaling mode (one of "stretch", "fill", "fit", "center", "tile"). + +**output** <name> background|bg <color> solid\_color + Sets the background of the given output to the specified color. _color_ + should be specified as _#RRGGBB_.

You may also +match any output by using the output name "\*". Be sure to add this output +config after the others, or it will be matched instead of the others. + +*show\_marks* on|off + If *show\_marks* is on, marks will be displayed in the window borders. + Any mark that starts with an underscore will not be drawn even if the + option is on. The default is _on_. + +*opacity* <value> + Set the opacity of the window between 0 (completely transparent) and 1 + (completely opaque). + +*unmark* [<identifier>] + *unmark* will remove _identifier_ from the list of current marks on a + window. If _identifier_ is omitted, all marks are removed. + +*workspace* [number] <name> + Switches to the specified workspace. The string "number" is optional and is + used to sort workspaces. + +*workspace* prev|next + Switches to the next workspace on the current output or on the next output + if currently on the last workspace. + +*workspace* prev\_on\_output|next\_on\_output + Switches to the next workspace on the current output. + +*workspace* <name> output <output> + Specifies that workspace _name_ should be shown on the specified _output_. + +*workspace\_auto\_back\_and\_forth* yes|no + When _yes_, repeating a workspace switch command will switch back to the + prior workspace. For example, if you are currently on workspace 1, + switch to workspace 2, then invoke the "workspace 2" command again, you + will be returned to workspace 1. Default is _no_. + +*workspace\_layout* default|stacking|tabbed + Specifies the initial layout for new workspaces. + +# CRITERIA + +A criteria is a string in the form of, for example: + +``` +[class="[Rr]egex.*" title="some title"] +``` + +The string contains one or more (space separated) attribute/value pairs. They +are used by some commands to choose which views to execute actions on. All +attributes must match for the criteria to match. + +Criteria may be used with either the *for\_window* or *assign* commands to +specify operations to perform on new views.

You may use XKB key - names here (**xev**(1) is a good tool for discovering them). An example - bindsym command would be **bindsym Mod1+Shift+f exec firefox**, which would - execute Firefox if the alt, shift, and F keys are pressed together. Any - valid sway command is eligible to be bound to a key combo. - + - **bindcode** <code> <command> is also available for binding with key codes - instead of key names. - -**client**.<color_class> <border> <background> <text> <indicator> <child_border>:: - The client commands control the colors of the view borders and title bars. All - client commands _require_ five color values. (The one exception is - **client.background** which _requires_ one color value.) If you only want to - specify a subset, supply default colors for all the others. Colors must be - defined in hex. i.e. _#rrggbb_ or _#rrggbbaa_, when including the alpha - channel. - + - The command tokens are: - **color_class**::: Specifies the view to which the colors apply. - **client.background**:::: The color a view will be painted, underneath the - client itself.

By default, the **mark** command sets - _identifier_ as the only mark on a window. By specifying _--add_, mark will - add _identifier_ to the list of current marks. If _--toggle_ is specified mark - will remove _identifier_ if it is already a label. Marks may be found by using - a criteria. See the **Criteria** section below. - -**mode** <mode_name>:: - Switches to the given mode_name. The default mode is simply _default_.

They -are used by some commands to choose which views to execute actions on. All attributes -must match for the criteria to match. - -Criteria may be used with either the **for_window** or **assign** commands to -specify operations to perform on new views. A criteria may also be used to -perform specific commands (ones that normally act upon one window) on all views -that match that criteria.
