Walt ships with a native `egui` desktop interface alongside the original TUI. The GUI keeps the same core capabilities as the terminal app:

- wallpaper browsing and large preview
- wallpaper browsing in list or gallery view
- multi-display apply flows
- random wallpaper actions
- direct image URL download-and-save flow
- rotation service controls
- wallpaper path management
- uninstall flow

Gallery mode keeps the All and Rotation lists as tabs at the top of the browser, and you can switch between those tabs with `[` and `]`.

If you do not have a graphical session available, `walt gui` exits with a clear error and you can still use `walt` for the terminal interface.

The GUI folder picker uses your Linux desktop portal or native dialog backend. On Hyprland, install a matching XDG desktop portal backend such as `xdg-desktop-portal-gtk` or `xdg-desktop-portal-kde` if folder selection does not appear.
