 Preload will tell Hyprland to load a particular image (supported formats: png, jpg, jpeg, webp). Wallpaper will apply the wallpaper to the selected output (`monitor` is the monitor's name, easily can be retrieved with `hyprctl monitors`. You can leave it empty for a wildcard (aka fallback). You can also use `desc:` followed by the monitor's description without the (PORT) at the end)
