Actually you can give access to sddm by giving it reading privileges to the original location of the wall.set in cache. |

You’re absolutely right—granting sddm read permissions to the original wallpaper location is a viable solution. However, I wanted to clarify that this PR aims to expose the wallpaper system-wide, allowing not just sddm but also other applications to utilize it. |

Is there any way we don't hard code the user? If we do this using $USER during the sddm session it is "root" so we need to hard code it right? |

This is the easiest way to make the current wallpaper into a display-manager wallpaper. Or any system to access a file.
Make a copy of the file into
/var/tmp/hyde/wall.setSet current wallpaper as Sddm display picture
change

Background=*intoBackground="/var/tmp/hyde/wall.set"This is the path of the copied wallpaper.Anyone can access this image so don't put anything confidential as the wallpaper. LOL
