Hello all, I love finding applications that feel minimal and do their job well, i.e. zathura, qview, etc.

Do any of you have applications you feel fit with your swaywm experience well?

    Hey there, I’m going to throw Variety in there as my favourite wallpaper management tool. After setting it up with a URL from wallhaven.cc pointing to your preferred tag or type of wallpaper you won’t even have to go look for nice wallpapers yourself (e.g. the URL in my variety settings points to the digital art category). Afterwards you can bindsym commands similiar to these in your SwayWM config file and everything will be nicely integrated:

    bindsym Shift+Alt+t exec variety -t trash current wallpaper

    bindsym Shift+Alt+f exec variety -f favourite current wallpaper

    bindsym Shift+Alt+n exec variety -n switch to next wallpaper

    bindsym Shift+Alt+p exec variety -p switch to previous wallpaper

    Trash, favourite, switch to next or previous wallpaper. Simply a great way to enjoy nice wallpapers without any effort. And if you then sync your fav-wallpaper folder with the cloud provider of your choice you won’t ever lose it.

      That is an amazing way to discover new wallpapers, thank you! You’ll never get bored of your wallpaper anymore.
