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.)

I am having trouble with Wallpaper Engine Plugin for KDE. Any insight?I've followed this guide and am still having trouble. My steam library folder seems to be in a different place than default ~/.steam/steam as opposed to the usual ~/.local/share/Steam usual. I don't think that should be an issue.
The guide I mention in the title

If you use the KDE desktop environment you can use the following repo: wallpaper-engine-kde-plugin There is a generic repo but for me it never worked, but I'll leave it here anyways: linux-wallpaperengine
