Ubuntu 22.04 Jelly Fish about hydrapaper

[OsniWinkelmann]

From what I understand the problem is in GNOME Tweaks which doesn't recognize the Hydrapaper image automatically.
Hydrapaper produces the image and it stays in .cache/hydrapaper but Tweaks doesn't apply it to the screen.
Left clicking on the background image: Change Background - Settings - Background - Add Picture - .cache - hydrapaper, choose 'merged_wallpaper. png'.
Then in Gnome Tweaks choose: Appearence - Background - Image - .cache - hydrapaper - 'merged_wallpaper.png'.
Next in: Adjustment - choose Spanned.

I'd like to confirm the above and also add some more points I've found on a fresh install 22.04. I have 3 monitors and I'm unable to set any of the monitors wallpapers. If I go to settings and add a single wallpaper then use hydra i can stretch the image to fit all 3 monitors but it just doesn't look right due to the difference in resolutions. Using a different image for each screen also doesn't work.

Looking at the code I don't think it's compatible with GTK4 which i think is what this new release is using.

Same problem. Two monitors. Ubuntu 22.04. Hydrapaper not working in XORG nor in Wayland.

It works for me but only in light mode... which is frustrating because I'm a gremlin who works until 5 in the morning
