I'm unable to compile the code. I'm using wpaperd package from the AUR, and I've also tried wpaperd-git. Both can't compile and error out on the same line. Here's the error:

Hi there! I'm seeing the following error:

$ wpaperd
The application panicked (crashed).
Message:  called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: NoWaylandLib
Location: src/main.rs:120

I'm running:

• Sway 1.6.1
• wpaperd 0.1.1 (as an aside it still says 0.1.0 with -V)

I've not got swaybg or anything else I could think of as pertinent running.

I'm using this NixOS derivation:

{ fetchurl, stdenv }:

stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
  pname = "wpaperd";
  version = "0.1.1";

  src = fetchurl {
    url = "https://github.com/danyspin97/wpaperd/releases/download/${version}/wpaperd-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.zst";
    sha256 = "12c874049c6b04c606746401dafe41d8c715988744747621333134690699fe16";
  };

  installPhase = ''
    mkdir -p $out/bin/
    mv ../wpaperd $out/bin/wpaperd
  '';
}

Could be a missing system dependency, a user permissions issue, I don't know. I tried this debug advice but the directory is empty.

If you have any ideas let me know, else I can clone and try debugging from source.

Running the program in Sway using

• exec wpaperd in config
• swaymsg exec wpaperd
• wpaperd

fails to display any change to the wallpaper, though the program still runs in the background.

Originally part of #3.

My configuration file is the following: [default] path = "/home/mathias/Pictures/desktop_wallpapers" duration = "30m" where the path contains 2 images. but the result is that my laptop screen and monitor screen got 2 different images. Is this normal or is there a way to 'sync' them that they display the same image?

When using programs like swaylock or nwg-drawer, or receiving a notification in mako, the wallpaper will switch twice, once when opening, and once when closing the app or notification. This is on river 0.1.2, which uses wlroots 0.15.

I also tried to see if it happened on sway 1.7 which also uses the newest wlroots, but the image doesn't show up regardless of if the path is a folder or file.

Taking the idea and the implementation from https://github.com/ordy/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/sway/panel-shadow.py , I think it would be a cool (optional) feature to have. It requires creating a second WlSurface for every output, and then applying the gradient on top of it. Another way to implement it would be applying the gradient directly on the image, but the image crate does not support that.

Hi, I'm trying to write a swaybg clone for https://github.com/waycrate and to learn about layer shell I'm reading through your source code.

Would you mind if I shamelessly copied some parts? I know the source code is licensed under GPLv3 but I thought I'd ask nonetheless.

Added Nix Flake support to this repository so that anyone using Nix can use this project. Tested on my own system, works really well, thanks for the tool, it's awesome!

oh, also, if it's were possible to own a cachix instance, it would mean that Nix results would be cached (and so the build would be done once only). I can take care of everything, or you can take the free instance for open source here, and I can take care of the GitHub Action setup. As you wish!

Hi, I have a problem that 2 wallpapers don't want to be set by wpaperd. Also I have lots of files in .local/state/wpaperd with following content:

WARN [calloop::sources::ping] [calloop] Failed to write a ping: EPIPE

log Maybe the files are problematic but I don't know since insufficient memory is not helpful because it is able to process much bigger files. Wallpapers: 1 2 OS: Arch 5.19.12 WM: dwl wlroots 0.15.1 wpaperd 0.2.0 CPU: Ryzen 5 4600H GPU: Integrated + Nvidia GTX 1650 (515.76)

This would be really hard to implement, because it would need to be draw manually starting from the two images and frame per frame. But it would really be nice to have.
