# This is a sample configuration file for the Chroma wallpaper daemon.
# Lines starting with # are comments and are ignored.
#
# Configuration file locations (checked in order):
#   1. ~/.config/chroma/chroma.conf
#   2. $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/chroma/chroma.conf
#   3. ./chroma.conf (current directory)
#
# To get started:
#   1. Copy this file to ~/.config/chroma/chroma.conf
#   2. Modify the paths to point to your wallpaper images
#   3. Use 'wlr-randr' or similar tools to find your output names
#   4. Restart chroma or send SIGHUP to reload configuration

# This image will be used for any output that doesn't have a specific mapping.
# Supports: JPEG, PNG, BMP, TGA, PSD, GIF, HDR, PIC, PPM, PGM
# Paths can be absolute or relative, ~ expansion is supported.
#
# Alternative examples:
# default_image = ~/Pictures/wallpapers/default.png
# default_image = /usr/share/wallpapers/default.jpg
# default_image = ./wallpapers/fallback.jpg
default_image = ~/.config/chroma/default.jpg


# Whether to run as a background daemon
# Usually set via command line option --daemon, but can be set here too
daemon_mode = false

# Global scaling mode for wallpapers (used as default for all outputs)
# Options: fill, fit, stretch, center
#   fill    - Fill entire output, crop if necessary (default)
#   fit     - Fit image within output, add borders if needed
#   stretch - Stretch to fill output, may distort aspect ratio
#   center  - Center image at original size
scale_mode = fill

# Global image filtering quality (used as default for all outputs)
# Options: nearest, linear, bilinear, trilinear
#   nearest   - Nearest neighbor filtering (pixelated, fast)
#   linear    - Linear filtering (smooth, default)
#   bilinear  - Bilinear filtering (smoother)
#   trilinear - Trilinear filtering (smoothest)
filter_quality = linear

# Image downsampling settings for performance optimization
# ===================================================
# Enable automatic downsampling of large images to save memory and improve performance
# Set to false to keep original resolution for all images (uses more memory!)
enable_downsampling = true

# Maximum expected output resolution
# Images larger than these dimensions may be automatically downsampled
# Adjust based on your actual monitor setup
max_output_width = 3840   # 4K width (change to 2560 for 1440p, 1920 for 1080p)
max_output_height = 2160  # 4K height (change to 1440 for 1440p, 1080 for 1080p)

# Minimum scale factor
# Prevents images from being scaled below this percentage of original size
# Useful to preserve detail on very high-resolution images
# Range: 0.1 to 1.0 (10% to 100%)
min_scale_factor = 0.25  # Don't scale below 25% of original size

# Output-specific wallpaper mappings
# ==================================
# Basic format: output.OUTPUT_NAME = /path/to/image.ext
#
# Extended format with per-output settings:
#   output.OUTPUT_NAME = /path/to/image.ext
#   output.OUTPUT_NAME.scale = fill|fit|stretch|center
#   output.OUTPUT_NAME.filter = nearest|linear|bilinear|trilinear
#
# To find your output names, run one of these commands:
#
#   Compositor Agnostic:
#   - wlr-randr (for wlroots-based compositors)
#   - wayland-info | grep wl_output
#   - kanshi list-outputs
#
#   Compositor Specific
#   - hyprctl monitors -j | jq .[].name (Hyprland specific)
#
# Common output name patterns:
#   - DP-1, DP-2, DP-3, etc. (DisplayPort)
#   - HDMI-A-1, HDMI-A-2, etc. (HDMI)
#   - eDP-1 (embedded DisplayPort, laptops)
#   - DVI-D-1, DVI-I-1 (DVI)
#   - VGA-1 (VGA, legacy)
#
#  Examples:
#  output.HDMI-A-1 = ~/Pictures/wallpaper.jpg
#  output.DP-1 = ~/Pictures/monitor1.png
#  output.DP-1.scale = fit
#  output.DP-1.filter = bilinear
#  output.DP-2 = ~/Pictures/monitor2.jpg
#  output.DP-2.scale = stretch
#  output.eDP-1 = ~/Pictures/laptop-wallpaper.jpg
#  output.eDP-1.scale = center
#  output.eDP-1.filter = trilinear
