Hyprpaper
1 min read
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.
Features:
• Per-output wallpapers
• fill or contain modes
• fractional scaling support
• IPC for blazing fast wallpaper switches
• preloading targets into memory
Usage
Run hyprpaper with hyprpaper --config <config>. By default the config file at ~/.config/hypr/hyprpaper.conf will be used.
Configuration
The configuration file lets you use the following syntax: preload
• preload This tells hyprpaper to load an image into memory.
preload = /path/to/image.png
• wallpaper This tells hyprpaper what image to use on what monitor
wallpaper = monitor,/path/to/image.png
So a final configuration file could look something like this:
preload = /path/to/image.png
preload = /path/to/next_image.png
wallpaper = monitor1,/path/to/image.png
wallpaper = monitor2,/path/to/next_image.png
