weebp

Despite the fact that desktop backgrounds are nice and can brighten up your day sometimes, one of their main issues is that they are rather static. weebp is a tool designed to change all that as it enables you to decorate the desktop with a video or any animated window for that matter.

The application does not come with an interface per se, but it is a command line utility. You can get started by following the instructions provided and double-clicking the 0bootstrap file to install the program.

If you want to make sure that the installation did not encounter any issues, you can check the install.ps1 file. Once you make sure that everything is OK, you can open Command Line or PowerShell and type wp to view the commands and functions of the app.

The highlight of the application stems from the fact that it relies on mpv, therefore, you are unlikely to experience any issues regarding the file format that you want to set as your wallpaper. Nevertheless, the developer recommends that you always make sure you are using the latest version to avoid any potential inconveniences.

It is worth mentioning that the application enables you to set the parameters of the video that you are managing. At the same time, the app allows you to move a window and set its desired size and coordinates. In case you encounter any issues when attempting to set another window, then you can kill the processes associated with it and that may be causing the errors.

While it may not come in a fancy package, weebp compensates with numerous options that enable you to set any video or animated window as your background.
