This is really cool! Thanks for sharing!
Though one question popped up in my mind while looking at this... Given the trend of ever increasing screen resolutions with no end in sight, why don't OSes support using vector images (svg, etc) as wallpapers?
- hnarn 5y agoYour claim that no operating systems support this seems extremely unlikely. I’m pretty much certain there are multiple Linux desktop environments that support vector based background images.
- coolso 5y agoYeah but the problem is they don’t otherwise support a convenient desktop experience. Maybe next year will be the year.
- hnarn 5y ago>they don’t otherwise support a convenient desktop experience I have no idea what this means.
- artificial 5y agoEveryone assumes everyone shares the same values. I think this person is dissatisfied with the UX on Linux.
- hnarn 5y agoPeople conflating subjective opinion with objective fact is in my opinion one of the most frustrating things about Internet discourse today.
- arthurcolle 5y agono you're wrong
- cogburnd02 5y agoI legitimately laughed out loud at this.
- roytanck 5y agoThis wallpaper generator was written on a Raspberry Pi running Ubuntu. Which I use because of its highly convenient desktop experience ;).
- ExtraE 5y agoStill, the question remains. Why don’t many/most/all?
- eins1234 5y agoWell, I had assumed none had support since none of the OSes I use regularly had support. I stand corrected. That said, I do still wonder why none of the OSes that I use (Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS, accounting for pretty much 100% of the OSes regular people use) have support for it.
- smoldesu 5y agoMy current desktop has an SVG as the wallpaper for my main display and a webp on the second one. I guess I could switch them over to a png or something, but I'm too lazy and I haven't noticed any issues with it.
