Set different wallpapers

[cyb3rgh0u1]

I recently started using Hyprland, and I was wondering if it's possible to set different wallpapers for each workspace. If yes, how can I configure it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Solution:

Yes, you can set different wallpapers for each workspace in Hyprland! Here's how to do it:

1. Install hyprpaper:
   Make sure you have hyprpaper installed, as it manages wallpapers in Hyprland. You can install it via AUR or your package manager:

yay -S hyprpaper

Modify the Hyprland configuration file:
Open your ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf and add the following under the wallpaper section:

hyprpaper=workspace1,~/Pictures/wallpaper1.jpg
hyprpaper=workspace2,~/Pictures/wallpaper2.jpg
hyprpaper=workspace3,~/Pictures/wallpaper3.jpg

Replace workspace1, workspace2, etc., with the actual workspace numbers or names, and provide the correct paths to your wallpapers.

Restart Hyprland or reload the config:
After saving the changes, restart Hyprland or reload the config by running:

hyprctl reload

Verify the changes:
Switch between workspaces to ensure each one displays its assigned wallpaper.

Optional Tips:

Make sure your wallpapers are in supported formats (e.g., .jpg, .png)
If you're unsure of your workspace names, run hyprctl workspaces to list them.
