swayblur 1.0.0

Basic sway wallpaper auto-blurring script

swayblur

Basic i3ipc based script to blur an output's wallpaper when a client is present in it.

Installation

Dependencies

• python-i3ipc
• ImageMagick: Used to generate the blurred wallpaper
• oguri: used to set the wallpaper without displaying a gray screen for a split second

Stable Release

pip install --user swayblur

Development Release

git clone https://github.com/willpower3309/swayblur
cd swayblur
pip install --user .

Usage

swayblur [-h] [-b BLUR] [-a ANIMATE] [-c CONFIG-PATH]

Option	Description
-b, --blur	blur strength (default: 20, min: 5, max: 100)
-a, --animate	animation duration (default: 1, min: 1, max: 20)
-c, --config-path	oguri config path (default: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/oguri/config)
-v, --verbose	prints additional information
-h, --help	show the help message and exit

In order for the script to run as expected, your sway config should not set any wallpaper. Remove the output * bg PATH line.

Configuration

Since swayblur requires oguri, it reads its config file: ~/.config/oguri/config. I personally use the below config, it's about as minimal as you can get:

[output *]
image=PATH_TO_YOUR_WALLPAPER
filter=nearest
scaling-mode=fill
anchor=center
