      What I don’t get is how often are people looking at their wallpapers? I see mine for a couple seconds before all the screen real estate gets taken by apps or monitoring etc.

        It’s to get a cohesive theme across all applications, so, even if you don’t see the wallpaper, it overrides the default app themes that would all clash with each other otherwise

      • I use a tiling window manager, and it maximizes that behavior. I still have wallpapers, because I spend most of my time in terminals, and they’re set to something like 90% opacity. I can still see the wallpapers, but it’s subtle. Inactive, non-terminal windows get 80% opacity, so I see it more there.
