Description

Modified the old sddmwall.sh script to work in the new theme format, and now it reads the current desktop and sddm theme (only tested it on corners theme) and changes the background of the sddm theme to the current wallpaper

Its not working on my system if its just putting that file into the directory.

Would t be fair if I add a functionality same as this in the Hyde-cli ?

Are you using the Candy theme? I think it selects randomly one of the backgrounds in the background directory,

the script replaces the bg.png, so I kept only that in the BackgroundS, and now it always uses that bg.

This is achievable without a script by just giving traversal access to sddm by:
setfacl -m u:sddm:x /home/$USER/.cache

then read access also
setfacl -m u:sddm:r /home/$USER/.cache/hyde/wall.set

And setting this as the path to wallpaper in sddm.
/home/$USER/.cache/hyde/wall.set

That one is not a perfect solution, as the multi-user might be confused and will have permission issues. Not all knows how to manage system configs.

Can you check if using /var/tmp is a viable solution?

This way we can just use /var/tmp/hyde/wall.set like cp current wall to this directory

only preparation we need is

mkdir -p   /var/tmp/hyde
 chmod go+xw  /var/tmp/hyde

I managed to do it! Exposing the wallpaper to /var/tmp should be fine.

#1906

We just need to manually enable It for each theme by changing Background= into Background="/var/tmp/hyde/wall.set"
