How can i in Labwc have Desktop Icons as well as a Wallapper?

2026-04-30 10:45 UTC

So i currently use labwc alongside the swaybg tool and pcmanfm-qt via --desktop flag for Desktop Icons :D No Issues so far with both of the Tools of course :P Except for the Fact that i can have only either Desktop Icons via pcmanfm-qt --desktop or the swaybg Background :( Am i simply doing something wrong by Chance? O.o I have both in my autostart but only the Wallpaper will run by Default :(

    I don’t use pacmanfm but it seems like it is rendering wallpapers itself, so using both is not the way to go. Instead you should try to set the wallpaper in pacmanfm. A short search brought up the following command but I did not test it: pcmanfm-qt --set-wallpaper=FILE --wallpaper-mode=MOD
