📒 Wallpkgs

A potentially curated collection of wallpapers with various color palettes. Packaged with nix for ease of installation and referencing.

Building

Wallpkgs exposes a default package which you can build without extra args.

# Build default package
$ nix build .

Install

Wallpkgs can be installed on non-NixOS with nix profile install. Do note that this will copy the packages to your nix profile and not nix store.

$ nix profile install .

On NixOS, it's recommended that you add wallpkgs to your flake inputs.

inputs = {
# ...
wallpkgs = "github:notashelf/wallpkgs";
};

Using the wallpapers

The wallpkgs package moves included wallpapers to $out/share/wallpapers by default. You may reference those files at $NIX_USER_PROFILE_DIR/share/wallpapers if they are installed via nix profile install (multi-user Nix), or reference the package path if installed via flake inputs with ${pkgs.wallpkgs} inside NixOS configurations.

Contributing

New Wallpapers

My vision for Wallpkgs is for it to be a community collection of Wallpapers. As such, new wallpapers are always welcome, whatever the theme. For the sake of organization and avoiding potential infringement, please do separate wallpapers based off of their distinctive features and give credit when it is due.

Nix

I am nowhere near the best when it comes to Nix. This was meant to be a project for me to explore with as well as a wallpaper collection for me and others to use, and thus please do feel free to refactor/rewrite/add/remove any nix code as you see fit. PRs will ba reviewed with utmost interest. See todo for my current list of to-do items.

📜 License issues

I will do my best to avoid infringing individual rights as much as possible. But given the nature of how I (and many others in the Linux & OSS community) find wallpapers, the authors may sometimes be ambigious. If you find any work here tha belongs to you, which you are share with the community with credits given, please contact me and I will respond as soon as possible.

Contributors are kindly requested to specify source for wallpapers created by individual artists and published over the internet. If you cannot find the source, please leave a note.

Thanks for your understanding!
