# `setwall`

A simple script for automating the setting of a wallpaper on Sway/Wayland or X11.

For X11, it assumes you have `hsetroot` installed.

## Usage

```

Usage: setwall [OPTIONS]

Optional arguments:

  -h, --help

Available commands:

  set     Set a specific image file as the background.

  random  Choose a random image file from a given directory.

```

- Specify `-c`/`--comp` to pick an output compositor. `-c sway` will use

  `swaybg` to replace your Sway background, while the default `-c x11` will use

  `hsetroot`.

- Specify `-o`/`--output` to pick a Sway output or X screen if using X11. If

  this flag is missing, the image will be applied to all screens.

- Specify `-k`/`--keep` to prevent the existing `swaybg` from being closed.

For instance:

```sh

setwall random ~/Pictures -c sway -o DP-2 -o DP-3 -o HDMI-A-1

```

## X11 Automation

If you have a custom `.xinitrc`, you can set this line:

```

/home/YOU/.cargo/bin/setwall random /home/YOU/backgrounds/

```

Assuming you have a directory full of images at that path.

Every time you log in, you'll have a different wallpaper!
