[BUG] When changing the wallapaper you get a blank screen with just the wallapaper and nothing else

[gaxolotl]

Describe the bug
When I change the wallpaper everything goes away except the wallpaper. I can still open console but everything else like the top bar dissapears.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to the open side bar icon on the top bar
2. Click on it
3. Then choose the wallpaper option
4. Change the wallpaper
5. See the error

Expected behavior
I expect the top bar to appear.

Distribution (please complete the following information):
Arch Linux

Thanks for reporting the issue. I will check.

Have the same error, workaround was to simply reload waybar with Super + Shift + B

Does it also happens if you use the wallpaper icon on the left side?

[mylinuxforwork]

Can confirm the issue when loading waypaper from the sidebar. I will check.

I'm not sure.

Yes, and it also happens if you remove things from waybar.

The reason is that I can't restart waybar from ags in combination with the wallpaper. I am working on it.

You can update the file .config/hypr/scripts/wallpaper.sh and comment the waybar commands:

# ----------------------------------------------------- 
# Stop all running waybar instances
# ----------------------------------------------------- 

# echo ":: Stop all running waybar instances"
# killall waybar
# pkill waybar

# ----------------------------------------------------- 
# Execute pywal
# ----------------------------------------------------- 

echo ":: Execute pywal with $used_wallpaper"
wal -q -i "$used_wallpaper"
source "$HOME/.cache/wal/colors.sh"

# ----------------------------------------------------- 
# Reload Waybar
# -----------------------------------------------------

# ~/.config/waybar/launch.sh

Can't confirm.
After resolving #541 the waybar reloads every time I change my wallpaper (every way).

Same. Wallpaper changing doesnt affect waybar visibility anymore. Only removing/disabling parts of waybar needs a manual reset, but I dont want to hijack this issue with another one.
