pacwall changes a Linux wallpaper to show the dependency graph and status of installed pacman packages.
About pacwall
pacwall is an open source Linux utility that generates a live desktop wallpaper showing the dependency graph of installed pacman packages. Nodes represent packages (size proportional to package size), edges represent dependencies, and the graph highlights outdated packages, orphans, and packages with unresolved .pacnew files, with customizable highlighting. It includes systemd user units to auto-regenerate the wallpaper on package install/upgrade/removal and for hourly periodic updates. pacwall does not set the wallpaper itself, requiring a desktop-specific hook command, with example hooks provided for GNOME, KDE Plasma, Xorg, Sway, and Hyprland.
