Default Backgrounds Not Appearing

Description:

Default background images no longer load, resulting in a black background.

This is due to the assets location changing in 0.42.0: https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/releases/tag/v0.42.0

Assets installation directory changed from $DATAROOTDIR/hyprland to $DATAROOTDIR/hypr

I was able to work around this issue by manually copying /usr/share/hyprland to /usr/local/share/hypr, and restarting Hyprland.

I believe this package need to be updated to place the assets in the new expected location.

Additional info:

Steps to reproduce:

Install hyprland and observe the blank background.
