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.)

Give Wayland a shot, don't base your opinion off of 2013 articles!
Funny meme btw. Personally, I use xorg with 3 displays. Fortunately, the resolution is same on all screens (full HD). I use Komorebi for live wallpapers and conky for sidebar. It works flawlessly.

Desktop Issues
How did you install komorebi? If you used the .deb from the project's Github, you should have noticed the last update was July 2018. That should have been your first warning. If you had bothered to look at the Issues you would have seen a long list of other reasons to avoid this package. https://github.com/cheesecakeufo/komorebi
