Wallpapers

The live session and installed system use a video wallpaper/usr/share/backgrounds/euri/euri-wallpaper.mp4 — played by the Smart Video Wallpaper Reborn Plasma plugin.

The video ships from the euri-layan-theme package (depends=('kvantum' 'yakuake' 'euri-wallpapers' 'mpv')). The same package installs the Smart Video Wallpaper Reborn plugin into the user's ~/.local/share/plasma/wallpapers/ from its Configs/Home/ tree.

The euri-wallpapers package provides the still images:

  • euri-wallpaper.png — the original Antergos wallpaper, sourced from the Antergos/wallpapers repo. GPL-3.0.
  • adwaita-morning.webp — GNOME Adwaita Morning (7680×4320, CC BY-SA 3.0 by Jakub Steiner)
  • antergos-darkest-hour.jpg — KDE Plasma variant (GPL-2+)

Installation paths

Path Purpose
/usr/share/backgrounds/euri/ Default wallpaper location + video wallpaper
/usr/share/wallpapers/euri-wallpaper/contents/images/ KDE wallpaper picker (still images)
/usr/share/antergos/backgrounds/ Legacy path
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/*/apps/euri-logo.png App icon

The KDE plugin names are euri-wallpaper and antergos-darkest-hour, each with their own metadata.desktop.

Set on first login

Plasma overwrites /etc/skel/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc on first login, so putting the wallpaper in skel doesn't work. Instead, a one-shot autostart script handles it:

  1. /usr/local/bin/set-euri-wallpaper.sh — configures the Smart Video Wallpaper Reborn plugin (luisbocanegra.smart.video.wallpaper.reborn) via qdbus6, pointing it at /usr/share/backgrounds/euri/euri-wallpaper.mp4 muted, then creates the marker file ~/.config/euri-wallpaper-set
  2. ~/.config/autostart/euri-wallpaper.desktop (from skel, plus a copy in /etc/xdg/autostart/) — calls the script with X-KDE-autostart-phase=2

The marker file prevents the script from running on subsequent logins.

Customizing

To replace the wallpaper, update the euri-wallpapers package:

  • packages/euri-wallpapers/PKGBUILD — update source URL and checksum
  • packages/euri-wallpapers/<image-file> — new wallpaper image
  • packages/euri-wallpapers/metadata.desktop — update name if changing

Rebuild the package and push to the antergos-packages repo.
