My wallpaper has stopped changing since updating to dwall v3.0 I'm on garuda linux (arch based)

My user's cron job looks like this:

!/bin/bash

0 env PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/default/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl DISPLAY=:0 DESKTOP_SESSION=plasma DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus" /usr/bin/dwall -s sol

Using the custom image set sol This works when used through terminal but doesn't seem to trigger every hour

echo "$SHELL | $PATH | $DISPLAY | $DESKTOP_SESSION | $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS | $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR" Gives me /bin/bash | /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/default/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl | :0 | plasma | unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus | /run/user/1000

Let me know if there's anything else you need to know. I'd love to get this working again

Changing my user (siva) cron to:

!/bin/bash

0 env TERM=xterm-256color PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/default/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl DISPLAY=:0 DESKTOP_SESSION=plasma DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus" /usr/bin/dwall -s sol

results in the following from systemctl cronie.service ... ● cronie.service - Periodic Command Scheduler Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/cronie.service; enabled; preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Tue 2023-09-26 21:42:17 BST; 31min ago Main PID: 626 (crond) Tasks: 1 (limit: 6946) Memory: 3.0M CPU: 345ms CGroup: /system.slice/cronie.service └─626 /usr/bin/crond -n

The wallpaper still does not change Autostart is working just fine

(edit) Trying to make a systemd service gives me an Invalid environment assignment (ignores /usr/bin/dwall , -s , and sol) I'm guessing there's another env variable I need? Or maybe I've just typed one wrong and staring at them for so long has driven me crazy...

anyone has solution for this? I also added the TERM env to my cron. I received the same kind of cron status where it also show the blob data, and it does not change the wallpaper. running on manjaro with i3wm.
