hyprpaper

Hyprpaper is a blazing fast wallpaper utility for Hyprland with the ability to dynamically change wallpapers through sockets*. It will work on all wlroots-based compositors, though.

*todo

Installation

git clone https://github.com/hyprwm/hyprpaper
make all

the output binary will be in ./build/

Usage

Hyprpaper is controlled by the config, like this:

~/.config/hypr/hyprpaper.conf

preload = /path/to/image.png

# .. more preloads

wallpaper = monitor,/path/to/image.png

# .. more monitors

Preload will tell Hyprland to load a particular image. Wallpaper will apply the wallpaper to the selected output (monitor is the monitor's name, easily can be retrieved with hyprctl monitors)

A Wallpaper cannot be applied without preloading. The config is not reloaded dynamically.

todos

• socket communication (hyprctl)
• switching wps
• allow setting only for selected monitors
• jpeg support
