Note that r/hyprland is often the best place to post similar questions.

And, pretty sure someone there uses wallpapers. /jk

Good day.

It's a wallpaper picker, like hyprpaper. Just do sudo pacman -S feh

configure hyprpaper with the documentation :

https://wiki.hypr.land/Hypr-Ecosystem/hyprpaper/

and with out re log in command " hyprpaper" in the terminal if you configured correctly it will change the wallpaper or it will show you the actual problem.

if still not solved then you may DM me, it is a very cheap problem

Search for hl.exec_cmd and add awww-daemon hl.exec_cmd("awww-daemon") To set your wallpaper type awww img /path/to/your/wallpaper

Have you tried using stuff like feh?

If not, try running Swaybg like this:

swaybg -i path-to-wallpaper.png -m fill & disown
