hyprpaper is a fast, IPC-controlled wallpaper utility for Hyprland.
Configuration
The config file is located at ~/.config/hypr/hyprpaper.conf. It is not
required.
Configuration is done using preload, which loads an image into memory. Then,
the wallpaper keyword is used to apply the preloaded image to your monitor(s):
preload = /home/me/amongus.png
wallpaper = monitor,/home/me/amongus.png
monitor can be left empty to set to all monitors without a set wallpaper:
wallpaper = ,/home/me/amongus.png
Monitor names can be checked with hyprctl monitors
Also can be used with desc: followed by the monitor's description without the (PORT) at the end
You may add contain: before the file path in wallpaper= to set the mode to contain instead of cover:
wallpaper = monitor,contain:/home/me/amongus.png
You can use unload to unload preloaded images. You can also specify unload all
to unload all images or unload unused to unload images that aren't being used.
Also you can use reload to unload preloaded image from your monitor(s),
preload another and set it to your monitor(s). It has the same syntax as wallpaper keyword.
To run hyprpaper at startup edit hyprland.conf and add:
exec-once = hyprpaper.
Misc options
| variable | description | type | default |
|---|---|---|---|

| splash_offset | how far (in % of height) up should the splash be displayed | float | 2.0 |

IPC
hyprpaper supports IPC via hyprctl. Every dispatcher mentioned in
Configuration can be called with
hyprctl hyprpaper <dispatcher> <arg(s)>.
Additionally, you can get some info about the current state of hyprpaper with
listloaded and listactive.
Examples:
hyprctl hyprpaper preload "~/Pictures/myepicpng.png"
hyprctl hyprpaper wallpaper "DP-1,~/Pictures/myepicpng.png"
hyprctl hyprpaper listloaded
