Hello, might be related to this Debian specific issue:

I was surprised to see the default sway background recently appear on my 
desktop.
My personal ~/.config/sway/config does NOT declare a background image, only a 
solid color:

output * bg #103000 solid_color

However, that setting is now overridden by this Debian file:
dpkg -S /etc/sway/config.d/40-sway-background.conf # installed by: 
sway-backgrounds

...since, usually, this line is at the end (override!) of the personal config:
include /etc/sway/config.d/*

Easy fix if not using the sway-backgrounds images at all:
apt purge sway-backgrounds # should remove that override config file

Otherwise, could use dpkg-divert to prevent sway-backgrounds from installing 
that override...
But perhaps sway-backgrounds pkg shouldn't override personal settings like 
that? Dunno.
Thanks!

This was also discussed in #1014753
You can simply remove the "include" in your personal settings or make it more specific. Or move the output declaration *after* the include.

cheers,
Birger
