No wallpaper in Sway 1.7

[Mrfiregem]

Running the program in Sway using

• exec wpaperd in config
• swaymsg exec wpaperd
• wpaperd

fails to display any change to the wallpaper, though the program still runs in the background.

Originally part of #3.

Thank you for the bug report! I have added some logging in the latest commits, can you please compile from the source and run:

$ pkill wpaperd
$ RUST_LOG=trace ./target/release/wpaperd

It should create a log in ~/.local/state/wpaperd which will be useful for debugging this issue.

The problem was between the monitor and chair 😆. When I copied over the default config file after installing sway, I left the line that set the default background. Thought it would be overridden since the line starting wpaperd was below it, but I guess not.

output * bg /usr/share/backgrounds/sway/Sway_Wallpaper_Blue_1920x1080.png fill
exec wpaperd

I am glad that it worked fine! I will add a warning about removing output * bg and killing swaybg that might be running in the background.
