Independent open-source project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Lively Wallpaper. Motion Wallpaper Studio renders real-time animated desktop scenes on Linux X11 / XWayland environments using procedural QPainter shaders, local image/frame sequences, HTML canvas theme files, and live /proc/stat CPU telemetry. FEATURES • Live Scenes & Library: Built-in Plasma Aurora shader, Matrix Glyph Rain, Starfield Warp, and live /proc/stat CPU Pulse Bars, plus local $HOME/Pictures scanning, PNG/JPG image picker, sorted frame-folder sequences, and HTML canvas theme parser. • X11 Desktop Layer & Root Pixmap: Applies a borderless click-through \_NET\_WM\_WINDOW\_TYPE\_DESKTOP lowered window via EWMH/XShape and/or sets the X11 root wallpaper pixmap (\_XROOTPMAP\_ID), with one-click static PNG snapshot export to ~/Pictures/motion-wallpaper-studio/. • Playback & Performance Rules: Configurable 10–60 FPS cap, live /proc/stat CPU usage and per-core load readout, RandR multi-monitor target selector, and automatic pause when an EWMH fullscreen (or maximized) X11 window is active. • Custom Generator & Presets: Customize primary, secondary, and background colors, particle count, speed, wave scale, matrix charset, and save/load JSON presets. LIMITATIONS • Designed for X11 desktop sessions and XWayland layers. Wayland-native desktop surfaces and compositors that override desktop-type windows (such as some GNOME/KDE desktop modes) may prevent \_NET\_WM\_WINDOW\_TYPE\_DESKTOP or root pixmap visibility.
