#Wbg

Super simple wallpaper application for Wayland compositors implementing the layer-shell protocol.

Wbg takes a single command line argument: a path to an image file. This image is displayed scaled-to-fit on all monitors.

More display options, and/or the ability to set a per-monitor wallpaper may be added in the future.

#Requirements

#Runtime

• pixman
• wayland (client and cursor libraries)
• libpng (optional)
• libjpeg (optional)
• libwebp (optional)

Note that at least one of libpng, libjpeg and libwebp is required.

#Compile time

• Development packages for all the libraries listed under runtime.
• wayland-protocols
• tllist

#Building

meson --buildtype=release build
ninja -C build
sudo ninja -C build install

By default, PNG, JPEG and WebP support is auto-detected. You can force disable/enable them with the meson command line options -Dpng=disabled|enabled, -Djpeg=disabled|enabled and -Dwebp=disabled|enabled.

#Derivative work

• https://codeberg.org/droc12345/wbg - adds support for directories with images, random, timer flags.
