The zip file will show contents in what looks like a flash drive\n  - Drag the folder within the zip file into the Downloads folder\n  - Optionally delete the zip file\n- Go to [chrome://extensions](chrome://extensions) and enable Developer Mode\n- Click \"Pack Extension\", click \"Browse\" under \"Extension Root Directory\", then click on the folder named `ChromeOS-LivePaper-main`, and click \"Open\"\n- Click \"Pack Extension\", then click \"Okay\"\n- Open the file manager, go to Downloads and drag the `.crx` file into the chrome://extensions window.\n- Click \"Add Extension\"\n- Optionally delete the generated `.crx` packaged file and `.pem` key file\n\n## How does it works?\n\nThis extension uses `chrome.wallpaper.setWallpaper` to change the wallpaper in Chrome OS. However, it only works with images.\n\nAs a workaround, this extension split the video (live wallpaper) into serval frames and feed them to `chrome.wallpaper.setWallpaper` one by one to make the wallpaper \"move\"\n\n## FAQ\nQ: Why it doesn't work?\n\nA: Check the settings on browser popup\n\n---\n\nQ: It is laggy!\n\nA: Try reducing the resolution in the wallpaper settings page (you will need to reset the live wallpaper in `Browser popup \u003e Set a new wallpaper` for this).\n\n---\n\nQ: How to set a new live wallpaper?\n\nA: `Browser popup \u003e Set a new wallpaper`\n\n## Known issues\n- Poor performance (due to the way how this extension works)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsupechicken%2Fchromeos-livepaper","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsupechicken%2Fchromeos-livepaper","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsupechicken%2Fchromeos-livepaper/lists"}
