Playing around with 'Video Wallpaper' & 'xwinwrap + gifview', just a 'demo mode' for my own learning. Together they use close to 15% of my (old Phenom II 1100T) cpu. The screen recorder used much more.

Any digital desktop clock?
You could probably hack something together with a daemon that generates a wallpaper with the time on it and sends e.g. swaysmg output * background /path/to/bg fill at the correct intervals, but I haven’t tried. Alternatively could hack on https://github.com/vilhalmer/oguri or https://github.com/GhostNaN/mpvpaper which do animated backgrounds.
What are some alternatives?
oguri - A very nice animated wallpaper daemon for Wayland compositors
wlpinyin - [WIP] experimental Chinese wayland Input method (IME)
conky - Light-weight system monitor for X, Wayland (sort of), and other things, too

foo-Wallpaper-Feh-Gif - just a loop who set wallpaper for display gif, support transparency
sway - i3-compatible Wayland compositor
