Step 2. Quick diagnose info

Hello, everyone. I created this issue to tell you how to make live wallpapers work with Wallpaper Engine.
What you will need:

  1. Download linux-wallpaperengine-git from AUR.
  2. Write the following in exec-once:
    exec-once = linux-wallpaperengine --assets-dir /run/media/disk/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/wallpaper_engine/assets /run/media/disk/SteamLibrary/steamapps/workshop/content/431960/3238082868 --silent --screen--root DP-3 (just an example, replace the path and monitor with your own)
  3. Open this file:
    /home/caboom/.config/quickshell/ii/panelFamilies/IllogicalImpulseFamily.qml
  4. Find PanelLoader { component: Background {} } and replace it with // PanelLoader { component: Background {} } // Disabled for linux-wallpaperengine compatibility
  5. Open this file:
    /home/caboom/.config/quickshell/ii/panelFamilies/WaffleFamily.qml
  6. Find PanelLoader { component: WaffleBackground {} } and change it to // PanelLoader { component: WaffleBackground {} } // Disabled for linux-wallpaperengine compatibility

Then just restart your PC, bye
