Azote is a GTK+3 - based picture browser and background setter, as the frontend to the swaybg (sway/Wayland) and feh (X windows) commands. The user interface is being developed with multi-headed setups in mind. Azote also includes several colour management tools. The program is confirmed to work on sway, Wayfire, i3, Openbox, Fluxbox and dwm window managers. Wayland support is limited to wlroots-based compositors. GNOME is not supported. Usage Select the folder your wallpapers are stored in. If it contains a lot of big pictures, it may take some time for Azote to create thumbnails. It's being performed once per folder, unless you clear the thumbnails folder. Most of the buttons seem to be self-explanatory, with a little help from their tooltip text. What may not be clear at first is the Apply selected picture to all screens button. It applies unchanged selected picture to all displays, regardless of whether they are currently connected/detected. It may be useful if you often connect and disconnect displays. A shortcut to this feature is just to double click a thumbnail. It'll always use the 'fill' mode, however. Azote, as well as feh, saves a batch file to your home directory. It needs to be executed in order to set the wallpaper on subsequent logins or reboot. sway Edit your ~/.config/sway/config file. Replace your current wallpaper settings, like: output * bg /usr/share/backgrounds/sway/Sway_Wallpaper.png fill with: exec ~/.azotebg Wayfire In ~/.config/wayfire.ini set autostart_wf_shell = false, and replace background = wf-background with background = ~/.azotebg. Important: optional wlr-randr / wlr-randr-git and swaybg packages are necessary. X window managers (i3, Openbox, dwm etc.) You need to execute ~/.fehbg from your window manager’s startup file. You'll also need optional feh and xorg-xrandr packages. Important: optional xorg-xrandr and feh packages are necessary. dwm note: If you start dwm from a script, it may look something like this: # Statusbar loop while true; do xsetroot -name "$( date +"%F %R" )" sleep 1m # Update time every minute done & # Autostart section ~/.fehbg & exec dwm
