I want a display manager that shows the desktop as the background, instead of a background image or video. I’m thinking of auto-logging in on boot, and adding another startup command to Hyprland to lock the desktop and show the display manger. My searches didn’t yield anything. The closest I could find is hyprlock which blurs the desktop, but that’s just a lock screen & not a proper display manager.

    I vaguely remember doing something like this a long time ago. I changed my screen lock script to take a screenshot of my desktop, then with ImageMagick scale the image to something like 10% then back up to blur it, then save it to overwrite the lock screen background.
