  Description     : Live wallpapers for the X window system

xlivebg is a live wallpaper framework, and collection of live
wallpapers, for the X window system. xlivebg is independent of window
managers and desktop environments, and should work with any of them, or
even with no window manager at all.

Live wallpapers are a way to have an animated desktop background,
instead of a simple static image. They are essentially programs which
use OpenGL to display an animated moving image in place of the
traditional wallpaper.

Live wallpapers are written as plugins for xlivebg. All X11-specific
initialization, OpenGL context creation, and root window management are
performend by xlivebg; the live wallpaper plugins need only provide a
draw function, which is called by xlivebg at (approximately) fixed
intervals.

An effort has been made to keep the number of dependencies as low as
possible. The main xlivebg program needs Xlib (with libXrandr), OpenGL,
libpng, zlib, and libjpeg. The GUI configuration tool depends on motif,
and the bundled video playback wallpaper adds the ffmpeg libraries to
the list of dependencies.
