How did you make the xwinwrap work for a animated Wallpaper ? I can't find the script for that, came from here : https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/83v6i8/dwm_cute/

In case anyone stumbles across this heres my full script that was based on Mitch's: https://gitlab.com/shockrah/shell-scripts/-/blob/master/newbga

If you don't want to follow links the magic part is this:

xwinwrap -g 1920x1080 -ov -b -un -sh rectangle -fdt -ni -- \
    mpv -wid WID --no-border --vo=x11 $base/"$pape" &

If you have no mpv config then those are pretty much the bare minimum flags you need to get it work for animated backgrounds.

Tested and working on DWM version 6.2 for reference

looks about what I used too, should be able to find in here if you rebase back years ago but I'm too lazy to dig it up

Hi there!

First of all, thanks for sharing all these neat tools and providing inspiration—awesome of you!

Now, just out of curiosity and if I may ask, why did you end up removing your old 1secmail script? Saw an outdated link to it from tmpmail so I stole it from your commit history. I like it! tmpmail is great too, but feels a bit bloated in comparison. :)

@dnordstrom because it stopped working, I think they changed their API and I couldn't be bothered to fix it

@mitchweaver Weird, I actually used it earlier and double checked it again now—it's back in business it seems, works great. Maybe it was some regression they fixed, who knows. Either way, slick little script. :)
