I want a display manager that shows the desktop as the background, instead of a background image or video. I’m thinking of auto-logging in on boot, and adding another startup command to Hyprland to lock the desktop and show the display manger. My searches didn’t yield anything. The closest I could find is hyprlock which blurs the desktop, but that’s just a lock screen & not a proper display manager.

    Dropping to the display manager would kill your desktop session, as far as I know. I think what you maybe want is Hyprlock. Setup whatever style you want, and than spawn both the Hyprlock daemon and activate it on login.
