Good morning, i need to know how can i change or put the original sway wallpaper and theme on the sway OS. I need the text list of the original wallpaper. Thanks a lot.
Me personally: i do not understand what you’re asking. If you’re just looking for a wallpaper google sway, switch to images, find a screenshot of sway with the wallpaper, save it, then make a google image search on this image to show similar images and if you’re lucky it will be among the results with a good resolution.
Hi, do i need to know how can restore the help list on manjaro sway, thanks…
A disclaimer: it is a community edition and not officially supported and less people use it.
That said, an inxi -zv8 is always needed. Click the </> button and then paste between the rows of three ticks.
What “text list” are you referring to?
I think you might be thinking of the generated system statistics that overlay the desktop wallpaper – if that is the case, then finding any particular wallpaper will not bring any joy.
You would instead need to configure whichever application is used to display such information (in list form).
A few commonly used applications are:
| Application | Description | Features |
|---|---|---|
| Kitty | A terminal emulator with a panel to display stats. | GPU acceleration, multiple terminal outputs. |
| Wallux | Generates dynamic wallpapers showing real-time stats. | Customizable visuals, integrates well with Sway. |
| Conky | A lightweight system monitor that displays stats on the desktop. | Highly configurable, supports many formats. |
Conky is traditionally by far the most popular.
I’ve merged two of your topics which appear to be about the same thing.
Edit:-
On the chance that I’ve correctly interpreted your somewhat vague questions, this topic might be of some interest:
This obviously doesn’t relate to Sway, but i3wm (which is similar), so you might glean something useful from the thread, and the links given.
Regards.
The onscreen help and info texts are printed by conky, possibly by a script.
The background is maintained by an application, nitrogen is popular for window managers, look for exec lines.
How did you put a different one there?
This is what the solution to that question sounds like to me.
The same goes for:
It might be easiest to just create a new user - which will presumably get all the default options
and then compare the configuration files between the two.
This is just my guess.
Or just look what is in /etc/skel - this is where the default settings for a new user come from.
I’d try and see for myself, but I can’t just download a nearly 4 GB ISO at the moment.

It isn’t printed by conky, but by nwg-wrapper. You can summon it using Mod + Shift + ?. If you broke the setup, there is a script manjaro-sway-align that backs up your user settings to replace them with the default settings. If nwg-wrapper errors (just run nwg-wrapper --help to confirm it doesn’t), you might need to just update your system, as it needed a rebuild recently.
