GitHub - nodeluna/lunawp: a tool that changes your wallpaper if your workspace changes

it works on hyprland, sway or qtile and it uses swww to change the backgroud
Neat! Though if you're using a tiling WM, having a wallpaper is kinda useless.
It depends! I spend most of my time in the terminal, and my terminal has a bit of transparency to it. Not too much to make it distracting, but just enough to make it pretty and pleasing.
Well, everyone has a different taste. I don't like transparency or even gaps but as I see from unixporn, a lot of people do.
Also, matcha addiction does that to people. :P
thanks! kinda, but i'm using hyprland and the foot terminal. You can control the inactive opacity on hyprland, and control foot's alpha channel, which can make it transparent
No problem! My first switch to Wayland was with Hyprland. It's very fancy and I see how this tool can get along with it quite nicely. Though I was a Bspwm user and switched to River recently. I usually only see my wallpaper when I first boot the system and if I want to run a non-automated program. But still even for me this can be useful when I work with two monitors.
Would this run on River by the way? Since River handles workspaces a little differently.
I use a similar feature on KDE (along with a KWin script for tiling) basically just to set the background color of my translucent panel, so I can quickly tell workspaces apart. 🙃
That's an interesting way to put it. I like how everyone does different things on their workspaces and some of them can be pretty clever. :)
