When you first install Hyprland there is the small text on the bottom center of the screen that is changed every restart. Is there any way to get it on new wallpaper with Hyprpaper?

Yes it is have a look https://github.com/hyprwm/hyprpaper

I only found this relevant issue: https://github.com/hyprwm/hyprpaper/issues/42 which still persists

Hyprpaper might be better maybe.

Read the git

There is a plugin for this too: https://github.com/zzag/plasma5-wallpapers-dynamic/tree/main

As far as I understand you are talking about this plugin. I don't know c++ and half of the code was like a black magic, but if I get it correctly, it encodes your images with libavif, and adds custom metadata ([solar/time of day] -> json -> base64).

You are looking for dynamic wallpapers

Hi all, I am relatively new to debian, so please go easy on me, recently I installed this program https://github.com/zzag/plasma5-wallpapers-dynamic (built it from source)

Something like that yeah, except it keeps changing throughout the day. I use this for it, but it still was a bit of set up work.

There's some projects like this one that provide something like what you're asking, there's isn't a built-in solution yet

Here is a dynamic wallpaper for plasma5: https://github.com/zzag/plasma5-wallpapers-dynamic

For dynamic wallpapers there's the plasma5-wallpapers-dynamic plugin and it works quite well, except it seems to add a little to the login times.
