crrow commented 2 years ago

The readme says 'Only screens configured with the XRandr extension are supported'.

But it dosen't work for my ubuntu22.04.

Here is my setup.

I run this command first:

xrandr --output DP-1-2 --mode 3840x2160

and then

wallengine 1143394477 --screen-root DP-1-2

the output is:

No scene.pkg file found at /home/dh/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/431960/1143394477/. Defaulting to normal folder storage
No gifscene.pkg file found at /home/dh/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/431960/1143394477/. Defaulting to normal folder storage
Found wallpaper engine's assets at /home/dh/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/wallpaper_engine/assets
Found requested screen: DP-1-2 -> 7296x0:2160x3840

Is there any problem with my command?

And It can preview in window correctly.

Plz tell me whats wrong with my setup. Thank you very much

Do you have gnome?

@Lin2D2 @HaHadaxigua Right now it doesn't work with GNOME or KDE as these DE tend to take over the control of the background and they forcefully draw over anything that might be drawing there. Closing as duplicate of #8
