I am trying to write a small utility that can change the desktop wallpaper, regardless of which windowmanager is running. The plan is to change the wallpaper according to the time of day.

Is there a command that can be used for changing the wallpaper after Sway has started?

For Gnome 3 it is something along the lines of:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri file:///$PATH_TO_FILE

What would an equivalent command be for Sway?

Found it!

swaymsg 'output "*" background $HOME/some/image.png fill'

Never mind then. :)

Here is a one-liner:

set $wallpapers_path $HOME/Images/wallpapers
output * bg `find $wallpapers_path -type f | shuf -n 1` fill
