Online Wallpapers ​

Pyprland can fetch wallpapers from free online sources without requiring API keys. When online_ratio is set, each wallpaper change has a chance to fetch a new image from the configured backends. If a fetch fails, it falls back to local images.

Downloaded images are stored in the online_folder subfolder and become part of your local collection for future use.

NOTE

Online fetching requires online_ratio > 0. If online_backends is empty, online fetching is disabled.
