A little less “anime and RGB,” a little more “pixel-slut for productivity”; but I hope I still fit in here. 😅
Any monitor I’m not currently using displays a set of prod graphs / monitoring / observability tooling (I use Plash https://sindresorhus.com/plash to load Grafana dashboards as my desktops) — they were hidden in the above photo for NDA reasons.

How do I set a live YouTube video as my Desktop background?
I saw your post here about running multiple instances, however I'm running an older build of the app (due to an older OS) so I can't download and run the other builds of Plash with different bundle ID's you've uploaded.

Ventura Purple wallpaper (Download link in comments)
But I found out that this problem is caused by the command-line program called Wallpapper, which is what I use to generate dynamic HEIC files.

Ventura Blue Wallpaper now is an all-day dynamic wallpaper (Download link in comments)
I made a new dynamic version of my macOS Ventura wallpaper that gradually changes throughout the day. This new version was made using Pixelmator Pro and used its new "Deband" feature to improve the result. All images were exported in high quality, with the Display P3 color profile and 16-bit color depth. The dynamic HEIC file was generated using Wallpapper terminal application.

Live wallpaper ?
Alternatively, if you’re comfortable with the command line, you can try walpapper (not a typo).
