  Free and open-source software that allows users to set animated desktop wallpapers and screensavers powered by WinUI 3.

I'm using Lively Wallpaper[0] to show an audio visualizer (trough CefSharp). The CPU load as shown in Task Manager is around 1.5-2% on my Ryzen 5800X. Therefore I tend to activate it only when I actually play some music and have it show.

  Node module that allows you to attach a window as wallpaper in Windows.

I had an idea for a similar project (1) a few years back, but abandoned it after reaching the state where I had a node module to attach an Electron window to the wallpaper in Windows.

Fun to see a project that has reached further, remember how cool I used to think dashboards/widgets for the PC stats were when I was younger.

  An X Window Manager built on web technologies.

I have been working on a project with some similarities, an X window manager written in Electron. It uses browser windows for wallpapers as well as frame windows. Haven't gotten the API where I want it to be yet, but I use it daily.
