Wallpapers
The live session and installed system use a video wallpaper — /usr/share/backgrounds/antergos/antergos-wallpaper.mp4 — played by the Smart Video Wallpaper Reborn Plasma plugin.
The video ships from the antergos-layan-theme package (depends=('kvantum' 'yakuake' 'antergos-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 antergos-wallpapers package provides the still images:
- antergos-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+)

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:
/usr/local/bin/set-antergos-wallpaper.sh— configures the Smart Video Wallpaper Reborn plugin (luisbocanegra.smart.video.wallpaper.reborn) viaqdbus6, pointing it at/usr/share/backgrounds/antergos/antergos-wallpaper.mp4muted, then creates the marker file~/.config/antergos-wallpaper-set~/.config/autostart/antergos-wallpaper.desktop(from skel, plus a copy in/etc/xdg/autostart/) — calls the script withX-KDE-autostart-phase=2
The marker file prevents the script from running on subsequent logins.
Customizing
To replace the wallpaper, update the antergos-wallpapers package:
packages/antergos-wallpapers/PKGBUILD— update source URL and checksumpackages/antergos-wallpapers/<image-file>— new wallpaper imagepackages/antergos-wallpapers/metadata.desktop— update name if changing
Rebuild the package and push to the antergos-packages repo.
