Is there a standard for procedurally animated wallpaper on Linux?

ST transparency without composite manager
Is there any way to get transparent st terminals without using a composite manager like the alpha patch requires? I've found a tool to set gifs as backgrounds (https://github.com/glouw/paperview) but it can't run while a composite manager is running as they both try to write to the root X11 window and so when I use it I can't see the animated background through st which defeats the point.

Can you ran wallpaper engine on linux?
No, wallpaper engine doesn't work on linux and as far as i know they don't have plans for a linux version. As for the alternative, there is this https://github.com/glouw/paperview but i haven't used it so i don't know how good it works.

Any way to set a video wallpaper?
There is also paperview (although not in the void repo) that uses BMP files from a folder to display an animated background. (Converting a video to BMP images can be done with ffmpeg.)

Live Wallpaper Software Needed
You can try to compile it. I tested this on Budgie. Open the terminal and run the following commands: sudo eopkg up to make sure you are updated. sudo eopkg it -c system.devel sudo eopkg it git clutter-gst-devel clutter-gtk-devel libgee-devel libwebkit-gtk-devel vala git clone https://github.com/Komorebi-Fork/komorebi.git cd komorebi meson build --prefix=/usr cd build && meson compile sudo meson install

Persona 5 themed Thinkpad with Linux.
It's not a tilling manager per se, actually; it's GNOME 3.38 with the pop-shell extension—the same window tilling software you'd be using with Pop OS. If you're running Arch, you can get it from the AUR. For the wallpaper, I'm using komorebi. I think it's made for GNOME but I've never tried it myself with another desktop envirotment or window manager. You can also get this one from the AUR.
