Ever wondered how GNOME Desktop Environments provide their own set of dynamic wallpapers? Let's build our own in 3 clicks.
Built with ElectronJS
The app mainly lets you quickly grab 2 wallpapers and save them to your user directory.
Dynamic wallpapers created by the app are kept in user dir, hence don't break your system & rice.
The project has been kept FOSS for the linux enthusiasts like me :) This encourages transparent and active contributions keeping it alive.
The app internally itself is configurable to match user needs. Options like Colors, Corner Radius and more...
The app will soon display a set of curated material & aesthetic wallpapers,.
The app lets you create dynamic wallpapers in just 3 clicks: pick two wallpapers, then save. That's it—your dynamic wallpaper is ready instantly, no complex setup required.

Start using WallcrunchHere are some common questions answered. Majority of users get their doubts solved with these. Still if needed, feel free to open issues on github.
This tool is specifically built for GNOME Shell. The directory structure being configured for the backend of this project is tailored to modern gnome desktop environment. Specific apps to other environments such as KDE will soon be published, hold tight!
It is purely based on ElectronJS + ReactJS + TailwindCSS + Typescript. Earlier the work was being done with GTK4+ but thanks to endless system errors I ended up coding it with this techstack.
The software has nothing to do with your gtk.css and other shell components. It won't break your ricing and shell. All it does is copying the wallpapers to gnome-backgrounds dir and writing an xml for dynamicity.
Absoulutely yes... the app is being and will be kept alive to be a standalone dynamic wallpaper creator because it is packaged with its own set of dependencies along with sandboxing support that makes it stand against winds of updates and changes.
