Description: #
owe is the wallpaper engine of the Omarchy desktop. A small daemon (owed) follows the Omarchy background symlink and Hyprland state, and drives a renderer (owe-render) that draws MP4 or GIF video through libmpv, or still images, on wlr-layer-shell background surfaces. It pauses playback for fullscreen windows, blocklisted processes, battery power and idle, and exports a frame feed for the lock screen. The owe command-line client controls the daemon; owe-idle is a helper for hypridle and 10-owe-sync is an Omarchy theme-set hook.
