Update Metadata
Wallpaper metadata can be changed in two ways: automatically during fluxlay publish, or manually from the dashboard.
Auto-update via publish
When you run fluxlay publish, the CLI sends name from fluxlay.yaml to the store. If description is also set in the manifest, it is sent too. This keeps the listing in sync with whatever is in your repository.
schemaVersion: 1
name: My Wallpaper
slug: my-wallpaper
version: 0.2.0
description: A relaxing animated gradient.pnpm fluxlay publishIf the metadata update fails the publish itself still succeeds — only the listing isn't refreshed.
Manual update via dashboard
Use the dashboard for fields that aren't in the manifest, or to revise listing copy without re-publishing.
| Field | Where it can be set |
|---|---|
| Name | Manifest or dashboard |
| Description | Manifest or dashboard |
| Tags | Dashboard only |
| Preview images | Dashboard only |
- Go to Dashboard > Wallpapers.
- Open the wallpaper.
- Edit the metadata section and save.
Dashboard edits override the manifest until the next fluxlay publish runs (which will overwrite name and description again).
Preview images
Preview images appear in the gallery and on the wallpaper detail page. Upload them from the dashboard — they're stored separately from the .fluxlay package and don't require re-publishing to update.
Publishing a new version
Editing metadata does not change the wallpaper content. To ship a new build, bump version in fluxlay.yaml and run fluxlay publish again.
