About this application
Hidamari is a Linux application for using video as the desktop wallpaper. Instead of a static background image, it places moving video content behind the normal desktop workspace. It is aimed at users who want an animated background on a Linux desktop rather than a media player window or a screen saver.
The program is published by Jeff Shee and released under the GPL-3.0-or-later license. Its scope is specific: it concerns video wallpaper behavior on Linux, not broader desktop customization across multiple operating systems. Users should consider it when they need wallpaper animation as part of the desktop environment.
