Linux support #7

Closed p4rkrs closed 5 years ago

As a regular Linux user, it would be nice to have software like this on Linux. Because as far as I know, no software (still maintained now) is available on Linux.

you don't need fancy software to do this on linux, just run mpv --wid 0 video.mp4 if you don't use a compositor, or if you do use a compositor you can install xwinwrap and use that.

the reason i made weebp is that windows didn't have simple command line tools like xwinwrap and you need some trickery to draw behind the desktop icons
