swayblur
Basic i3ipc based script to blur an output's wallpaper when a client is present in it. Available via pypi or the NUR.
Installation
Stable Release
Swayblur is available in the NUR or from pypi:
pip install --user swayblurBuilding from Source
git clone https://github.com/willpower3309/swayblur
cd swayblur
pip install --user .Dependencies
-
python-i3ipc: build dependency for communicating with Sway -
ImageMagick: used to generate the blurred wallpaper -
oguri: used to set the wallpaper without displaying a gray screen for a split second
Usage
In order for the script to run as expected, your sway config should not set any wallpaper. Remove the output * bg PATH line.
swayblur does not spawn oguri at launch. If spawning swayblur with a sway config via exec, ensure that exec oguri occurs before swayblur is executed!
swayblur [-h] [-b BLUR] [-a ANIMATE] [-c CONFIG-PATH] [-v] [--verbose]
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
-b, --blur

Configuration
Since swayblur requires oguri, it reads its config file: ~/.config/oguri/config. I personally use the below config, it's about as minimal as you can get:
[output *]
image=PATH_TO_YOUR_WALLPAPER
filter=nearest
scaling-mode=fill
anchor=center
