I too would like this feature, since it seems to be the easiest way to set the current wallpaper to the background for hyprlock/others
Hello @guttermonk and @ryan77627 !
BTW, I starred this repo since it's the best wallpaper app. Really comes closest out of the box to doing everything I want without any bloat. Keep up the great work!
Thank you :)
Regarding the feature, I am thinking between a watch
command that waits until the wallpaper changes, leaving up to scripts to copy the wallpaper, or creating a symlink in .local/state/wpaperd/wallpapers
:
$ ls .local/state/wpaperd/wallpapers
DP-4
eDP-1
Would that work with hyprlock and swaylock?
I haven't tried hyprlock, but either a copy or symlink at that path would work for swaylock.
I've also seen people use .cache
for stuff like this. It may be preferable to also log to .cache/wpaperd/
instead of .local/state/wpaperd/
as well since people tend to back-up their .local/
folder and there's no need to back-up logs typically. Just food for thought.
Same here for hyprlock, a copy or (preferably for me honestly) a symlink to the actual file named whatever the display is named would work just fine.
Maybe regarding the path we can just have a configuration value for it, that way people can choose where (and if) they go?
If there were an option for the daemon to save a copy of the wallpaper to a static file path when it transitions to a new image, the copied wallpaper could be used for the lockscreen.
