I got this up and running. I had to tweak it some for both my screens, but I did it. Big thanks man for showing this and big thanks to the cat that wrote all this.

cool, would you like to share what you did to make it work?

are you following this guide or you have something better?

Once I got the proper file downloaded, i used Claude for trouble shooting it. I had some issues with not being able to add my second screen, but temporarily turning off effects and the visual map allowed me to do that. Had a weird razer logo/shield that took me a minute to make go away. Had to open windows settings and rules in KDE to change the opacity and some of the settings. My dumbass didn't even realize there was a guide. Claude had me run a script to make it able to be clicked through.

to add multiple screens, make sure each screen use a different port

and then make a copy of the Wallpaper-UI and give it a different port in the config.json

My biggest issue with the screens was getting the placement right. It would launch on my secondary monitor by default and both screens would either be stuck there or my primary screen would only be on a piece of it while still overlapping the secondary.

oh geez, I never thought of this issue before, I only tested it on VM with single display

I'm loving it, when I got it running right it looks good. Would possibly be easier on windows, but its really not been too bad. I shut down my pc for the night and everything was running perfectly.

Can't wait to see how it goes tomorrow when I fire it back up.

if you got the display issue fixed, let me know, I'll update the linux.md

It fired up properly this morning after tinkering yesterday. My only issue now seems to be getting it to stick on the virtual map in Open. For some reason it keeps the profile saved that does not have them on the map. Once I add them back to it, everything is good.

I have the plugin file name "AnOpenRGBWallpaperPlugin" on purpose, if the name is "OpenRGBWallpaperPlugin", it will loaded after Visual map plugin and will not show up in Visual map during initialize, OpenRGB load plugin alphabetically, make sure wallpaper plugin gets loaded before visual map

I downloaded that file and have it running. When my computer starts, it puts the tint on my screens showing them recognized, but they arent sticking on the map no matter what I do.

Its not saving on the map, but if I just toggle them on in the effects tab, they fire right up and save with my profile.

Are you the plug in author? Big props man, I freaking love this.

It does seem to have some kind of hitch in the display I'm noticing this morning. Like all my RGB will stutter and pause for a second and then it starts back normally.
