Greetings,
I want to share how to add Live wallpaper to Fedora Workstation with a simple video-player app.
Installing the required video-app and libs for compling xwinwrap
sudo dnf install mpv xorg-x11-server-devel.x86_64 libXrender-devel.x86_64 libXext-devel.x86_64
Now downloading and compiling Xwinwrap
git clone https://github.com/ujjwal96/xwinwrap.git
cd xwinwrap
make
sudo make install
make clean
To set up a script that makes a Live Wallpaper possible
cd /usr/local/bin
sudo nano Live.sh
add:
xwinwrap -fs -fdt -ni -b -nf – mpv -wid WID --no-audio --loop “/path/to/your/videofile”
then:
sudo chmod +x Live.sh
nano ~/.config/autostart/LiveWallpaper.desktop
Add:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=sh -c “/usr/local/bin/Live.sh”
Hidden=false
NoDisplay=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name=Live wallpaper
Hope you like it
Note power Saving is disabled while having Live Wallpaper.
