Video and Displaying Webpage as background #641

Hello, I'm totally new to GitHub, but have used your app Variety, and it is a much appreciated tool to randomly change or display a cool image on the background.
First, I didn't know if you are still working on this project and adding features. But it would be great to display a video or webpage as a background. Is there a way to add those two features? Thanks in advance for any options. -mizrhappy

We pass wallpaper setting to the underlying desktop environment, so this is not really feasible with the current design. Doing this would probably require drawing our own overlay on top of the desktop, and I think that's out of the project's scope.
