HydraPaper: A Wallpaper Manager for Linux with Multi-Monitor Support
|
||
======
|
||
Brief: HydraPaper is an impressive wallpaper manager for Linux users that also supports multi-monitor setups. 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 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.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
It looks like a straightforward solution with a few neat features. Let me mention the key highlights below.
|
||
|
||
### Features of HydraPaper
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
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
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
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].
