Wallpaper changing animations do not work on vertical monitor.

[GeodeArc]

On my vertical monitor (DP-2), there is no animation when switching between wallpapers, and it just cuts.

Things I have tried:

• All animation types
• Isolating the vertical monitors output (disabling all other displays)
• Using the latest swww-git release

test.mp4

Any help/fixes are appreciated!

I'm not sure in your case but this works for me.

Interesting, I have been able to replicate this on a virtual machine, and also my laptop. ill play around a bit more and see what i can do.

I also have a very similar (but less developed) script that changes wallpapers like the one you provided, and sadly experience the issue.

Just so I know im not going crazy, do you mind trying to replicate this setup and testing?

1. Install swww-git (the regular swww package has another vertical monitor issue that hasnt yet been merged from git).
2. Change a monitors transform (rotation) to 1 or 3 (aka vertical) in hyprland config.
3. Change wallpaper and check animation displayed (if any).

Sometimes I see the start of an animation, maybe for half a second, but then it immediately cuts.

Mine is already like that. Also had that problem with the square wp so i updated to git ver. My animation when switching is working. I will test it out again tomorrow because I am in bed rn.
