🌸 NAME 🌸

HydraPaper(1) — Wallpaper manager with multi monitor support. This is the General Commands Manual page, and we’re keeping it cute, bestie. 💖

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

       hydrapaper [-h] [-c WALLPAPER_PATH [WALLPAPER_PATH ...]] [-m
       WALLPAPER_MODES [WALLPAPER_MODES ...]] [-r] [-l]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so HydraPaper is a wallpaper manager, specifically designed to work around the lack of functionality of many desktop environments to set a different wallpaper for each monitor in a multi monitor setup. It accomplishes this by scaling and merging different wallpapers into a single one and setting it as spanned. Slay. 🎀

It currently supports various desktop environments, including GNOME, MATE, Cinnamon and Budgie. Experimental support is included for the sway window manager. 🦋

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h, --help — Show the help message and exit. Short, sweet, iconic.
  • -c, --cli WALLPAPER_PATHS... — Set wallpapers from the command line. Give it your wallpaper paths, bestie.
  • -m, --modes WALLPAPER_MODES... — Specify the modes for the wallpapers (zoom, center_black, center_blur, fit_black, fit_blur). Modes on modes on modes.
  • -r, --random — Set wallpapers randomly. Chaos, but make it aesthetic.
  • -l — this one is in the synopsis, but this page doesn’t describe it in the options list, so I’m not inventing a meaning. No cap, just honesty. 💀
