This is a fork of Paperview aiming to imitate the following Wallpaper Engine wallpaper: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?l=latam&id=1439758130
make # NOTE: SDL2 is required
make install
./paperview background.bmp sprite.bmp
Append an (&) to a paperview command to have it run as a background process. Eg:
./paperview background.bmp sprite.bmp &
To stop this backgroud process, use killall:
killall paperview
Running on a Thinkpad X230 from 2012 at 1920x1080 and 60fps with an integrated Intel GPU:
intel_gpu_time ./paperview castle 5

Picom, Compton (and possibly other compositors) seem to already write to the base root X11 window which may overwrite the render done by paperview.
