#### Wayland screensaver, live desktop wallpaper, and screen-lock suite

WScreenSavers brings classic XScreenSaver modules and custom 3D WebGL scenes
to Wayland desktops (wlroots, Hyprland, Sway, KDE, GNOME) using gtk-layer-shell
BACKGROUND and OVERLAY surfaces, with idle detection, multi-monitor support,
an IPC CLI (wscreensavers ctl), and a Noctalia Shell plugin.
