paperview VS startpage

https://github.com/glouw/paperview you might want to try paperview.

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.

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.

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.)

try to install it form here https://github.com/glouw/paperview

You can try paperview

If you are using font awesome icons, replace the class names. I have a project which uses vanilla js only for theme toggle. You can check it out if you want.

I also used this startpage and customized it. since pale moon doesn't have a security restriction about setting new tabs as local files, you can easily set the home page (in the preferences) as file:///path/to/index.html then set "When opening a new tab, show:" to "My home page."

Programs: trackma, ncmpcpp, dunst startpage font wallpaper color scheme

Thanks! I made it myself. You will find it here.
