Very 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)

We shouldn't encourage people who can't properly read and understand a comment before replying either, but here we are talking to you who jumped on correcting the “2 or 3 years” to “19 years” without noticing that “2007” was in the post so the poster was obviously well aware of that. > being un…

But it was implied, by the very common joke format. You made no direct reference to the current year. Your argument there would be more convincing if you were as clear and detailed in your meaning as you expect everyone else to be.

Thank you, Mr Account-Created-In-2021, for defending those of us who have been around since 2013, 2011, and 2010, from the humour of outsiders like ourselves!

I’m imagining dozens of people worldwide sharing your nostalgia for Vista.

“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.

Good on ya. I won't use it, myself, because I can't deal with wallpaper moving behind my work (I also can't listen to music, while I work. Maybe it's a "generational" thing). Also, I use a 49-inch ultrawide, so it might be vomit-inducing. I remember some other utility that played wallpaper videos, but it wasn't anywhere near as nicely done.

It doesn't move while you work, its just the lock screen and when you log in.

I understand, now.

I originally thought that this was an extension to keep a video running in the background.

It simply allows you to add your own videos to the built-in Apple ones (much more useful to me).
