Ubuntu 22.04 Jelly Fish

I'm using a Philips 27'' monitor (1920 x 1080) and my 15'' notebook (1366 x 768). At Ubuntu 20.04, Hydrapaper was working perfectly, but I upgraded to new ubuntu 22.04 Jelly Fish / Wayland... now, when I use Hydrapaper, flatpak or apt repository, the actual background image expands to all the displays as if was only one. Note: The background pictures that I choose from each display were different from the actual

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.

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.

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