Where Is the Hyprpaper Config File?
Hyprpaper wallpaper daemon config file with preload and monitor syntax.
Last updated
Hyprpaper reads a single optional config under the hypr folder. Legacy lines declare preloads and per-monitor wallpapers. A newer block syntax covers fit modes per output.
Splits work through sourced drop-in files. Autostart belongs in the Hyprland config, not here. IPC commands handle runtime swaps without edits.
Where Hyprpaper stores this, by platform
~/.config/hypr/hyprpaper.conf
Only location, optional file. Legacy preload and wallpaper lines plus reload verbs. New block syntax for fit modes. Split configs via sourced drop-ins. Autostart through hyprland.conf.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Hyprpaper?
Copy hyprpaper.conf with the daemon stopped. Split configs under the hyprpaper.d folder travel with it. Restoring means putting both back and reloading to confirm monitors match.
How do I autostart Hyprpaper?
Add an exec-once line for hyprpaper in hyprland.conf. The daemon reads its own conf at start. Control running instances through the hyprctl wallpaper commands instead of editing live.
