Let us take a closer look. + +By default, you get the ability to set wallpapers as per the desktop environment on your Linux distribution. + +And, it is often limiting when trying to add a custom folder of wallpaper collection to the available selection. Moreover, when it comes to multi-monitor setup, you do not get the ability to choose separate wallpapers in your distro. So, you need to head out looking for a Graphical User Interface (GUI) program that lets you do that. + +Fortunately, I stumbled upon an impressive option for Linux users i.e. **HydraPaper**. + +### HydraPaper: Open-Source Wallpaper Manager with CLI Access + +![hydrapaper wallpaper manager][1] + +HydraPaper is a pretty helpful wallpaper manager built using Python 3 and GTK. It lets you select individual wallpapers for different monitors. + +While it is primarily a GUI program, you can also perform the same tasks using the command line. + +So, HydraPaper is a wallpaper manager for both GUI and CLI users. + +![hydrapaper favorites][2] + +It looks like a straightforward solution with a few neat features. Let me mention the key highlights below. + +### Features of HydraPaper + +![hydrapaper folders][3] + +HydraPaper lets you add your custom wallpaper collection, organize/select the folders you want, and pick wallpapers conveniently. + +Some of the essential features include: + +* Manager folder collection (toggle them in a single click as required). +* Pick a favorite wallpaper and add them to your favorite collection. +* Position the wallpaper as you prefer (zoom, fit with a black background/blur, center, and more) +* Ability to set a random wallpaper quickly from your collection, if that’s how you decide. +* Customize the wallpaper manager experience with dark mode, choose to save wallpaper separately, clear cache, etc. +* CLI support +* Single spanned wallpaper mode to apply across multi-monitors + +![single span mode][4] + +It is pretty simple to use; you can pick and select wallpapers for different monitors or use the single spanned wallpaper mode from the options to apply one across multi-monitors. + +![hydrapaper options][5] + +You get to choose/add/delete folders, adjust the position, add favorites, and apply the wallpaper for dark mode. + +### Installing HydraPaper in Linux + +You can find HydraPaper as a [Flatpak package][6] on Flathub, fit for every Linux distribution. You can refer to our [Flatpak guide][7] if you’re new to setting up support for Flatpak. + +You can also find it on AUR for Arch Linux distros, Fedora’s repository, and Debian (unstable). + +I tested it on Manjaro Linux, and it worked just fine using the Flatpak package. + +To explore more options, you can head to its [GitLab repository][8]. + +*What do you think about HydraPaper? Do you prefer something else to manage wallpapers on a multi-monitor setup?
