Description nlbrown222 2020-05-28 05:35:05 UTC

The sway package does not properly set background images when given a .jpg filename. The fix filed here: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/299 worked for me. Adding the "jpeg" USE flag to x11-libs/gdk-pixbuf resolved the issue. I would like for this USE flag to either be optional or on by default for this dependency, as I feel setting a background image to a generic image type should "just work" or at least be enabled via a USE flag for sway, and not for some other package. I'm new to Gentoo (running my first install!), and don't mind working toward a fix if someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks.
