Hello cheesecakeufo/Abraham Masri,

I have recently discovered your project, and I feel that it is a excellent contribution to all Linux platforms. Operating system servers/repositories should host this project by default, even as boot pre-installation.

The stuff I can do other than a static image are numerous. I can use an image as animated gif image, video file as loop recording (careful of the recorded noise), video file as (24/7) live streaming real-time/video webcam/video playlist file/url, webpage as a newspaper frontpage reading, webpage as one-way random/organized image array projector/player (selects and redirects to image), webpage as cyclic random/organized image array projector/player (uses html [page/element] script to display random image, will refresh html [page/element] script to display random image again), webpage as a host for (24/7) live streaming radio playlist file/url, and webpage as a host for (24/7) live streaming stop-motion/digital-stills webcam/video playlist file/url (no, not those personal webcams, we're talking about a network surveillance security [stop motion/digital stills] camera [of course, a real-time/video camera would be more lively, but that would be for the video parameter; webpage can host multiple media player div sections to run simultaneous media file/url, but networking performance will suffer due to data transmission constraints]).

I can do a plenty of things given a webpage to act as a bootloader of media access. However, the current komorebi-wallpaper-creator 's webpage parameter only allows http://, https://, and other online protocols as valid URL/markup string value. I, as I would recall, URIs or file:// protocol, as offline URLs. URIs are restricted offline URLs, it can be a safe/private way to display media due to its nature to refrain from data sharing/transmission with online services. I am sure that URIs are just like URLs. URI protocol should be also allowed as a valid URL/markup string value for the webpage parameter.

If you go offline, the offline protocol is "file://(offline_/fullpath/directory_of_webpagefile/replacingparentheses/section_here)". For more details, read the wikipedia page url https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme .

I hope that you, as the project author, will take the context of the message into consideration. Thank you for reading this message.

Sincerely, ribbybbir

Oh, nevermind, the development has moved on to new management. Suggestion has been implemented.
