Super simple wallpaper application for Wayland compositorsimplementing the layer-shell protocol.

Wbg takes a single command line argument: a path to an imagefile. This image is displayed scaled-to-fit on all monitors.

More display options, and/or the ability to set a per-monitorwallpapermay be added in the future.

• pixman
• wayland (client andcursor libraries)
• libpng (optional)
• libjpeg (optional)
• libwebp (optional)
• libjxl (optional)
• libjxl_threads (optional)

Note that if SVG support is disabled at least one oflibpng,libjpeg,libwebp andlibjxl is required.

libjxl_threads is recommended for better performance decoding JPEG XL images
