’Dynamic Wallpaper’ Maker for GNOME Updated with New UI
Want to make your own dynamic wallpaper pairings to use in GNOME 42 and above?
If you do you’ve probably come across Dynamic Wallpaper. It’s a super-simple GTK app tool that lets create a background pair that changes based on the light/dark mode setting.
A new version of the app landed this past weekend. Dynamic Wallpaper 0.1.0 delivers a new design that, to my eyes, is a much better fit for the modern GNOME desktop and libadwaita apps. That’s not to say the old UI was bad, but this one is better.
Feature wise nothing else has changed: you open the app, select an image to use as the wallpaper when ‘light mode’ is active, select an image to use when ‘dark mode’ is active, assign your creative coupling a name, then hit ‘create’ to save it.
Once saved, you head to Settings > Appearance to apply it. You can spot your creation easily as these dynamic wallpapers display a split thumbnail previewing the two images, light mode on the left, dark mode on the right.
