#122As much (fairly well deserved) hate as Tahoe gets, the video wallpapers and transparency are such a fun Windows Vista vibe I get nostalgia. Time to set this up with the Vista waterfall wallpaper and reallllyyy feel like it’s 2007!
My big problem with Tahoe, is the lock screen animation stutters and freezes CONSTANTLY. I'm on an M3 Pro. If I can watch 4K video with no dropped frames, a simple video background should work as well, and if it doesn't, it shouldn't exist.
I have this problem a few times a day on my corporate M4 Pro when I lock the screen... with 60Hz set. It happens when the two security monitoring app corporate insists on are scanning harder b/c the screensaver kicked in. My personal macbook pro is fine.

#124Very nice, thank you for this! I’ve been wishing for a way to control when the wallpaper freezes. Can your app also keep it playing on the lock screen?
this is stated in the post my dude. not even at the github link, just like, a few paragraphs in. > the video keeps playing on the desktop (not just the lock screen)
My dude, that doesn’t really answer the question unless you infer more than people usually mean. This is about changing the behavior of the video stopping after considerable time, the default behavior is that it keeps playing for a good while (while on the desktop it stops close to immediately), which I assume is what they are referring to by “just the lock screen”.

#125Earlier quoted context omitted.
“Good old Vista. People give it a bad press but I’m never upgrading, why would I? It just feels like a good pair of jeans.”
It wasn’t a horrible OS. It just broke XP’s “it runs on practically anything” before the hardware was really there. And 7 was, as we all know, the most perfect Windows has ever been. Windows 7 Media Center was a magnificent DVR and a great movie-playing box.
This so depends on the timing. XP was a memory hog when it came out for that generation's hardwarw
