NAME

swww-daemon

SYNOPSIS

OPTIONS

-f,--format <xrgb|xbgr|rgb|bgr>

Force the daemon to use a specific wl_shm format.

IMPORTANT: make sure this is a value your compositor actually supports! 'swww-daemon' will automatically select the best format for itself during initialization; this is only here for fallback, debug, and workaround purposes.

-l,--layer <background|bottom>

Which layer to display the background in. Defaults to `background`.

We do not accept layers `top` and `overlay` because those would make your desktoop unusable by simply putting an image on top of everything else. If there is ever a use case for these, we can reconsider it.

--no-cache

Don't search the cache for the last wallpaper for each output. Useful if you always want to select which image 'swww' loads manually using 'swww img'

-q,--quiet

Makes the daemon only log errors.

-h, --help

Print help (see a summary with '-h')

-V, --version

Print version

DESCRIPTION

The swww-daemon will run continuously, waiting for commands in ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/swww-${WAYLAND_DISPLAY}.socket (or /tmp/swww/swww-${WAYLAND_DISPLAY}.socket, if $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set). The daemon will take care of both creating and deleting that file when it is initialized or killed.
