It makes a folder in ~/.config/komorebi/wallpapers. Now what?

rsubtil commented 4 years ago

You should use komorebi-wallpaper-creator (or search for Wallpaper Creator) to make new wallpapers.

Kangie commented 4 years ago

In short, you should run 'komorebi' (it should be available from your launcher), if not you can run it from the terminal.

Komorebi will replace your desktop wallpaper with a fullscreen application, providing access to its wallpapers (etc.)

Currently, You can right-click on the desktop (once Komorebi is running) to change the wallpaper.

A separate application komorebi-wallpaper-creator can be launched to create new wallpapers from videos, images, or web pages.

@Kangie komorebi is really cool, why does it stop playing when I switch windows?

It keeps crashing too here's the output in the terminal:

Welcome to komorebi
Reading config file..
[INFO]: loading Gst
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

That's an option that you can change. Right-click on the desktop, select 'Desktop Preferences' and uncheck 'Pause video playback on un-focus'.

This is desired behaviour; On systems with thermal constraints (laptops, etc.) or those can't handle video playback all of the time it'll cease using system resources when you can't see it.

Are you running on a multi-screen setup, try komorebi --single-screen.

Haven't heard back in a couple of days, can't diagnose just from a segfault, and don't have any information about the environment.

User documentation updated so that the 'no indication that it's doing anything if you can't see the desktop' behaviour is explicitly called out.
