A slideshow script for both hyprpaper and hyprlock (Solution)

[harshv5094]

I've solved my slideshow problem for both hyprpaper and hyprlock using this script:

#!/bin/bash

function main() {
  hyprctl hyprpaper unload all
  killall hyprpaper

  echo "splash = false" >~/.config/hypr/hyprpaper.conf
  echo "ipc = true" >>~/.config/hypr/hyprpaper.conf
  # monitors=$(hyprctl monitors -j | jq -r ".[] | .name")

  # for monitor in $monitors; do
  #   wallpaper=$(fd ".png|.jpg|.jpeg|.webp" ~/Pictures/wallpapers/ | shuf -n1)
  #   echo "preload = $wallpaper" >>~/.config/hypr/hyprpaper.conf
  #   echo "wallpaper = $monitor,$wallpaper" >>~/.config/hypr/hyprpaper.conf
  # done

  wallpaper=$(fd ".png|.jpg|.jpeg|.webp" ~/Pictures/wallpapers/ | shuf -n1)
  echo "preload = $wallpaper" >>~/.config/hypr/hyprpaper.conf
  echo "wallpaper = ,$wallpaper" >>~/.config/hypr/hyprpaper.conf

  echo "# BACKGROUND
background {
    monitor =
    blur_passes = 2
    contrast = 1
    brightness = 0.5
    vibrancy = 0.2
    vibrancy_darkness = 0.2
    path = $wallpaper   # supports png, jpg, webp (no animations, though)
  }
" >~/.config/hypr/conf/lock-background.conf

  hyprpaper &
  sleep 10m
  main
}

main

In hyprland.conf:

exec-once = ~/.config/hypr/.scripts/wallpaper-change.sh

In hyprlock.conf:

source=~/.config/hypr/conf/lock-background.conf
.....

If you don't like the slideshow function, just comment out sleep 10m and main like this:

...
# sleep 10m
# main
...

And assign a keybinding to change both wallpaper at the same time:

bind = SUPER, W, exec, ~/.config/hypr/.scripts/wallpaper-change.sh

Code is available in my config
