clapper VS TbWidgets

Hello pop community! I'm trying to get Hanabi (Live wallpaper for gnome) working on pop os and clappersink (in clapper, not Flatpak version) required for better performance. but clapper is not in pop repo... so i had to build manually. and somehow clapper is builded but i can't use clappersink... (i think i just missing option but i can't find about clappersink). Search google, nothing. Search reddit, nothing. can anyone help me please 😭

I mean, personally I find that the dark titlebar sticks out, compared to projects like amberol, clapper and blackbox terminal. Clapper only shows the window buttons on mouse movement and blackbox can be configured to not show the window buttons at all unless you hover the top of the window with the mouse.

For GNOME there is also Clapper, but it is more like mpv/celluloid.

I’d be curious how VLC or a native Wayland client like Clapper performs.

There’s a few, like clapper or easyeffects. I just searched on github.

Clapper is nice.

I'm not really sure to be honest, I'm still trying to learn more about the Linux multimedia stack. I tried testing this with Clapper which is a GTK player powered by GStreamer. It also says it uses OpenGL for rendering. However when I tried it with my custom compiled version of GStreamer I didn't get any performance increases, which makes me think there's some extra copies happening. It's possible I'm still missing some necessary environment variables to enable the correct decoding/rendering path.

If anyone wants to see the source for the old one, here it is, but note that it's a bit out of date and I'm planning on making big changes before asking projects if they would like the idea. The .c file will be completely rewritten later so just ignore it. The .h file is here: https://github.com/sammonius/TbWidgets/blob/main/tbwidgets.h. Here's a link to the GitLab issue I created asking XDG about this: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-specs/-/issues/95.
