FAQ
How can I set a website as a static wallpaper?
If you only need a static snapshot of the website, you can use capture-website and then pass the result to this package. You can make it semi-dynamic, by capturing the website snapshot every 10 seconds, for example.
How can I set a website, video, or WebGL as a dynamic wallpaper?
You cannot use this package to set a dynamic wallpaper.
On macOS, check out Plash, which lets you set any website as your wallpaper. The website could contain a fullscreen video, WebGL, slideshow, animated, etc.
You can also do this with Electron on macOS and Linux by using new BrowserWindow({type: 'desktop'}).
On Windows, you can use Wallpaper Engine. It's available on Steam, HumbleBundle, and Green Man Gaming for around 4 USD.
