Wallpaper¶
Wallpapers in Vibranium are per-theme and handled by vb-core-wallpaper on top of awww.
Setting a wallpaper¶
GUI way:
- Open the file manager (Super+E)
- Right-click any image
- Choose Set as wallpaper
CLI way:
vb-core-wallpaper --help shows the full options list.
The wallpaper cycle¶
Ctrl+Alt+W cycles to the next wallpaper of the active theme.
Your custom wallpapers are included in the cycle, alongside the theme's defaults — Vibranium merges the theme's backgrounds/ folder with your own picks.
Per-theme, on purpose¶
Wallpapers are stored per theme, by design. If you want the same custom wallpaper in a different theme, you set it again there.
If you really want to reuse a wallpaper, the file sits in ~/.config/vibranium/themes/<theme>/backgrounds/ — just copy between themes.
The theme internals page explains the structure.
Managing your wallpapers¶
Vibranium Menu -> Settings -> Misc -> User wallpapers opens the management options:
- Open the folder — where your custom wallpapers live
- Open — open selected file
- Delete — remove custom wallpapers
Tips¶
- The wallpaper is restored correctly after theme switches and on login — the state is tracked per theme, so switching back to a theme you used before brings back its wallpaper, not the last one globally.
- If the wallpaper setting is disabled in the general settings, the wallpaper service doesn't even start — no wasted resources.
