swaybg -i osu.webp

  1. Just to be sure, do other image types work?
  2. As suggested in #22, have you installed the package webp-pixbuf-loader to let GdkPixbuf (the image loading library swaybg uses) load WebP files?

apologies, it seems like that should be it. other image types work fine indeed.
