I want to sort of recreate macOS 15’s dynamic wallpaper, and downloaded this set of 8 wallpapers which are most / all the colors it cycles through. On Hyprland, I want to cycle through them throughout the day, but also slowly transition from one wallpaper to another for an hour or longer, crossfading / blending them.

I did some searching, and neither timewall or adi1090x/dynamic-wallpaper can do it. I looked at making my own script to blend images once every 60 secs, but I’m not sure how to quickly crossfade images. This command takes ~15 secs, I feel this should possible much faster with or without imagemagick: magick composite -blend 50 wallpaper1.png wallpaper2.png output.png.

    i also think it can be done faster, with opengl for example, but there’s no command for it yet.

    however, it doesn’t matter how long it takes, if you precompute the images, then just display something precomputed. much like the gnome extension hanabi plays videos as wallpaper.
