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.

    You could tell it to make a screenshot and use that as a background for the display manager. I use that for my lockscreen, it makes a screenshot of my current desktop and shows a pixelated version of that behind the lock symbol.
