Scan ~/Pictures/Wallpapers and /usr/share/backgrounds/bos (configurable) and open a bread-theme GTK picker via `breadpaper library` (alias browse). Clicking a thumbnail runs the existing set path. listen honors bread.command.paper.library by spawning that picker.

# breadpaper
|
|
|
|
Wallpaper setter for the bread desktop. One command sets the wallpaper
|
|
via [awww](https://github.com/heywoodlh/awww), generates a palette with
|
|
[pywal](https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal) (`wal`), and runs
|
|
`bread-theme reload`.
|
|
|
|
`set` / `get` stay one-shot CLI. `breadpaper library` (alias `browse`)
|
|
opens a GTK picker over the wallpaper directories. It is not a slideshow
|
|
daemon.
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
Must be on `$PATH` for `set`:
|
|
|
|
- `awww` — Wayland wallpaper (`awww img`)
|
|
- `wal` — palette generation (`python-pywal`)
|
|
- `bread-theme` — theme reload (bakery package, not `breadd`)
|
|
|
|
`library` also needs GTK4 (the window loads `bread-theme`'s shared
|
|
stylesheet). `get` only reads the path pywal stored at `~/.cache/wal/wal`.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
bakery install breadpaper
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
From source:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cargo build --release
|
|
install -Dm755 target/release/breadpaper ~/.local/bin/breadpaper
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
breadpaper <path> # shorthand for `set`
|
|
breadpaper set <path> # awww + wal + bread-theme reload
|
|
breadpaper get # print the current wallpaper path
|
|
breadpaper library # GTK picker (alias: browse)
|
|
breadpaper library --dir PATH # also scan PATH (repeatable)
|
|
breadpaper listen # honor bread.command.paper.set / .library
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Supported formats: `png`, `jpg`, `jpeg`, `webp`, `gif`, `bmp`.
|
|
|
|
## Library
|
|
|
|
`breadpaper library` scans these directories (missing ones are skipped):
|
|
|
|
1. `~/Pictures/Wallpapers`
|
|
2. `/usr/share/backgrounds/bos`
|
|
|
|
Override the list in `~/.config/breadpaper/config.toml`:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
library_dirs = [
|
|
"~/Pictures/Wallpapers",
|
|
"/usr/share/backgrounds/bos",
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`BREADPAPER_LIBRARY_DIRS` (colon-separated) overrides the file. `--dir`
|
|
appends extra roots for that invocation. Clicking a thumbnail runs the
|
|
same `set` path as the CLI.
|
|
|
|
## Bread events
|
|
|
|
After a successful `set`, breadpaper emits `bread.paper.changed` if
|
|
`breadd` is running (silent no-op if it isn't). `breadpaper listen` is
|
|
the optional long-running subscriber for `bread.command.paper.set` and
|
|
`bread.command.paper.library`; it does not start by itself. Lua modules
|
|
can still `bread.exec("breadpaper set …")` or
|
|
`bread.exec("breadpaper library")`. See [EVENTS.md](EVENTS.md).
