About LWP
LWP is an open source engine for multi-layered parallax wallpapers where each layer moves with the mouse cursor. It supports selecting a wallpaper for each monitor and defining horizontal and vertical mouse sensitivity in a wallpaper configuration file.
On Linux it requires SDL2, plus XWayland when using Wayland, and installs from a .tar.gz release into /usr/local. Custom wallpapers are built manually from numbered .bmp layers and a wallpaper.cfg file, and some distributions may require enabling Draw on root window.
