Wallpaper on Tiling WMs question

[vod3]

Hi there,
It's not clear to me how stylix is setting the wallpaper. I'm currently using Hyprland with wbg as a wallpaper setter, but after applying a theme everything changes, only the wallpaper stays the same. Am I supposed to deactivate wbg, has stylix an included wallpaper daemon for wayland?

Furthermore, under Tips and Tricks in the docs there seems to be a interesting function. How is the pixel function working? Where can I find the generated wallpaper for activating it? is "base0A" taking a color-variable from the theme or is it just naming the wallpaper? The docs are not clear on all of my points I'm afraid...

{ pkgs, config, ... }:

{
  stylix = {
    image = config.lib.stylix.pixel "base0A";
    base16Scheme = "${pkgs.base16-schemes}/share/themes/catppuccin-latte.yaml";
  };
}

Thanks for your time!

#102 was meant to extend wallpaper capabilities.

The best pixel documentation would the function itself:

stylix/stylix/pixel.nix

Lines 4 to 8 in 81df844

	# Generate a PNG image containing a named color
	config.lib.stylix.pixel = color:
	pkgs.runCommand "${color}-pixel.png" {
	color = config.lib.stylix.colors.withHashtag.${color};
	} "${pkgs.imagemagick}/bin/convert xc:$color png32:$out";

Yes, the documentation still has some ways to go.

Built in support for wallpapers on Hyprland is being worked on in #377
