swww query

-h, --help

Print help (see a summary with '-h')

Asks the daemon to print output information (names and dimensions).

You may use this to find out valid values for the <swww-img --outputs> option. If you want more detailed information about your outputs, I would recommend trying something like wlr-randr.

Currently, swww query prints information in the following format:

OUTPUT: SIZE, scale: SCALE, currently displaying: IMAGE_OR_COLOR

where SIZE is in the format WxH (eg.: 1920x1080), SCALE in "scale: NUMBER", and IMAGE_OR_COLOR in

  • "image: IMAGENAME", if it's an image; or
  • "color: RGB", if it's a color
