Home Manager offers several different ways to set wallpaper in Wayland.
Declarative Wallpapers
fetchurl can be used to declaratively set wallpapers. In this example, a wallpaper in nixos-artwork is used.
❄︎ ~/.config/home-manager/home.nix
let
src = pkgs.fetchurl {
url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NixOS/nixos-artwork/8957e93c95867faafec7f9988cedddd6837859fa/wallpapers/nix-wallpaper-binary-black.png";
hash = "sha256-mhSh0wz2ntH/kri3PF5ZrFykjjdQLhmlIlDDGFQIYWw=";
};
in
Use 📖︎ nix-prefetch-url to get the hash:
$ nix hash convert --hash-algo sha256 $(nix-prefetch-url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NixOS/nixos-artwork/8957e93c95867faafec7f9988cedddd6837859fa/wallpapers/nix-wallpaper-binary-black.png)
sha256-mhSh0wz2ntH/kri3PF5ZrFykjjdQLhmlIlDDGFQIYWw=
Configuration
wpaperd
wpaperd is a modern wallpaper daemon for Wayland. It has Home Manager integration and can be configured as follows:
❄︎ ~/.config/home-manager/home.nix
