It uses GStreamer for video playback and GTK3 to automatically detect your desktop's workarea and scale the video to perfectly fit your screen—giving you a full-featured animated wallpaper experience similar to Wallpaper Engine.\n\n## Features\n\n- **Dynamic Video Wallpaper:** Set a video as your desktop wallpaper.\n- **Automatic Scaling:** Detects your monitor's workarea and scales the video to fill your screen.\n- **GPU-Accelerated:** Leverages GStreamer for efficient, hardware-accelerated playback.\n- **Lightweight:** Designed to have minimal impact on system resources.\n- **Wayland Support:** Yes!! You have heard that right XD, this is the first time finally adding Wayland support. However... there's no multi-monitor support as it only works for a single monitor for now.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nBefore you get started, ensure you have the following installed:\n\n- **Python 3.x**\n- **GStreamer 1.0** (and necessary plugins, e.g., `gst-plugins-base`, `gst-plugins-good`, etc.)\n- **GTK 3**\n- **Wayland development libraries** (only needed for Wayland users)\n\nFor Ubuntu/Debian systems, you can install the required packages with:\n\n```bash\nsudo apt install python3-gi python3-gst-1.0 gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly gstreamer1.0-libav gir1.2-gst-plugins-base-1.0 gir1.2-gtk-3.0 wayland-protocols libwayland-dev\n```\n\n## Installation\n\n### For Wayland Users:\nIf you're using Wayland, you need to compile the Wayland stub before running the script:\n\n```bash\ngcc main.c -o main $(pkg-config --cflags --libs wayland-client)\ngcc wayland_stub.c -o wayland_stub $(pkg-config --cflags --libs wayland-client)\ngcc -c wayland_support.c $(pkg-config --cflags wayland-client)\n```\n\nThen, make the script executable and run it:\n\n```bash\nchmod +x wallpaper.py\n./wallpaper.py\n```\n\nAlternatively, you can set it up to start automatically using a `.desktop` file (see below).\n\n### For X11 Users:\nNo additional compilation is needed. Just make the script executable:\n\n```bash\nchmod +x wallpaper.py\n```\n\nThen run:\n\n```bash\n./wallpaper.py\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n1. **Place your video file:**\n   \n   Make sure you have your video file at `~/Videos/wallpaper.mp4`. You can change this path in the script if needed.\n\n2. **Run the script:**\n\n   ```bash\n   ./wallpaper.py\n   ```\n\n3. **Auto-Start on Login:**\n\n   To run the wallpaper automatically on startup, copy the provided desktop entry (or create one) to your autostart directory:\n   \n   ```bash\n   mkdir ~/.config/autostart/ \u0026\u0026 nano video-wallpaper.desktop \u0026\u0026 cp video-wallpaper.desktop ~/.config/autostart/\n   ```\n\n   *Example `video-wallpaper.desktop` content:*\n\n   ```ini\n   [Desktop Entry]\n   Type=Application\n   Name=Video Wallpaper\n   Comment=Sets a video as the desktop wallpaper on startup\n   Exec=/full/path/to/gnome-wallpaper-engine/wallpaper.py\n   X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true\n   Terminal=false\n   ```\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions, issues, and feature requests are welcome!
