Left click on the wallpaper in KDE6 restores the KDE wallpaper

[MaxandreOgeret]

As explained, the wallpaper is set with swww (I have 3 screens so 3 wallpapers set with swww).
Setting the wallpaper works fine.

But if I left click on the desktop, the default KDE Plasma wallpaper is restored. Restarting the daemon and re-applying the wallpaper restores the sww wallpapers.

Any way around that ?

Thanks !

• swww 0.9.5-masterV3
• plasmashell 6.2.5

I am also seeing this issue with swww 0.9.5 and plasmashell 6.3. Is there any way of collecting any more useful data to help with the debugging process?

The best way would probably be making a debug build and running that.

Hi,

I have the same problem for the left click, but sometime also for the right click.

For fix (hack) it, in first place i think to restart every time the daemon before change the display, and set the kde plasma wallpaper same as the swww so when i click i show the same wallpaper and i don't notice the "bug", but sometime when i restart swww it show a little animation of growing and isn't beautiful.

My script for set KDE wallpaper same of swww.
The script is triggered by a systemd unit(user) with a timer every 3 minute.
swww-daemon is also managed by a custom systemd unit (user)

#!/bin/bash
IMAGE=$(find /home/USERNAME/Immagini/wallpaper  -maxdepth 1 -type f | shuf -n 1)
TRANSITION=("any"  "wave" "outer"  "wipe" )
RI=$((RANDOM % ${#TRANSITION[@]}))
RI="${TRANSITION[$RI]}"
swww img --transition-type $RI $IMAGE
qdbus org.kde.plasmashell /PlasmaShell org.kde.PlasmaShell.evaluateScript "
    desktops().forEach((d) => {
        d.currentConfigGroup = [
            'Wallpaper',
            'org.kde.image',
            'General',
        ]
        d.writeConfig('Image', '$IMAGE')
        d.reloadConfig()
    })
"

I think i fixed it

in the file daemon/wallpaper.rs i changed the layer from zwlr_layer_shell_v1::layer::BACKGROUND to zwlr_layer_shell_v1::layer::BOTTOM, and now isn't anymore replaced from KDE wallapaper.
