Hi there. Did any of you change the wallpaper on Sway with Waypaper?

I tried with both swaybg and swww

Selected image path: /usr/share/wallpapers/garuda-wallpapers/Abstract.jpg
Image set with swaybg
2023-08-17 16:52:56 - [swaybg-1.2.0/main.c:293] Found config * for output eDP-1 (LG Display 0x0498)

Selected image path: /usr/share/wallpapers/garuda-wallpapers/Darkwing Beast.jpg
Image set with swww
Error: "There seems to already be another instance running..."
swaybg: no process found

Nothing of that works.

For swww to work, you have to run swww init first.

This is what I use on hyprland:

exec-once = sleep 1; swww init; sleep 1; while true; do swww img /home/maus/Pictures/wallpapers/$(ls /home/maus/Pictures/wallpapers | shuf -n 1) --transition-fps 30 --transition-type=random --transition-bezier=0,0.84,1,1; sleep 600; done

This shuffles through my wallpapers every 600 seconds

Thanks a lot.

I now works, and I have no idea why. I executed the commands to showcase them in this post, and this time, it seems to have worked, probably with swaybg.

Obviously, you need to make forum posts, to fix things

Thanks a lot for the swift response anyway
