Settings

These settings can be set in your .chunkwmrc file. The syntax is chunkc set [setting] [value]. Example: chunkc set wallpaper ~/Pictures/wallpaper.jpg

• wallpaper (string [path]): path to your wallpaper. Default: path to your current wallpaper. This is the 'global' wallpaper.

• <space>_wallpaper (string [path]): path to a wallpaper. This wallpaper will be used on space <space>.

• wallpaper_blur (float): changes the blur intensity. Default: 0.0 (imagemagick selects a suitable value when 0.0 is used).

• wallpaper_mode (fill, fit, stretch or center): the way a wallpaper is displayed. Default: fill.

• wallpaper_tmp_path (string [path]): where to store the blurred wallpaper. Default: /tmp/.

Runtime commands

These commands can be used while chunkwm is running, whithout the need of reloading the plugin. The syntax is chunkc blur::[command] [args]. Example: chunkc blur::wallpaper ~/Pictures/wallpaper.jpg

• help: show help about the settings and commands.

• wallpaper (string [path]): path to you wallpaper.

• enable: enable blurring. Blurring is enabled by default.

• disable: disable blurring. Every desktop will get its wallpaper specified with <space>_wallpaper, but not blurred.

• reset: reset wallpaper on all spaces. The wallpaper will be set to the wallpaper specified with chunkc set wallpaper. This also disables blurring.
