I want to sort of recreate macOS 15’s dynamic wallpaper, and downloaded this set of 8 wallpapers which are most / all the colors it cycles through. On Hyprland, I want to cycle through them throughout the day, but also slowly transition from one wallpaper to another for an hour or longer, crossfading / blending them.
I did some searching, and neither timewall or adi1090x/dynamic-wallpaper can do it. I looked at making my own script to blend images once every 60 secs, but I’m not sure how to quickly crossfade images. This command takes ~15 secs, I feel this should possible much faster with or without imagemagick: magick composite -blend 50 wallpaper1.png wallpaper2.png output.png.
I’ve done that sorta thing before with ffmpeg; should do the trick for ya.
I do not know why this got so downvoted (maybe for cross posting too much?, if so, try to reduce that a bit). Someone has said wpaperd already, but there is also awww. As to exactly get the rate of switching.
awww img <path/to/img> # You can also specify outputs: awww img -o <outputs> <path/to/img> # Control how smoothly the transition will happen, as well as its frame rate. # --transition-step: smaller values = smoother. Default is 2 if --transition-type is `simple`, and 90 if it is not. # --transition-fps: Default = 30. awww img <path/to/img> --transition-step <1 to 255> --transition-fps <1 to 255> # There are also many different transition effects: awww img <path/to/img> --transition-type center # Note you may also control the above by setting up the AWWW_TRANSITION_FPS, # AWWW_TRANSITION_STEP, and AWWW_TRANSITION environment variables. # To see all options, run awww img --helpffmpeg for fade, then mpvpaper for background set
Wpaperd has a bunch of transitions and is pretty easy to setup. Might be easiest compared to other suggestions I’ve seen on both of ya posts
