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.

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
