Some light entertainment.

[SpoutWallpaper](https://github.com/leadedge/SpoutWallpaper) shows any any Spout enabled application as a live desktop wallpaper. External applications do the work instead of the wallpaper application itself. For example, [SpoutSlideshow](https://github.com/leadedge/SpoutSlideshow) has been updated to enable a slideshow background.

Videos and images can also be displayed, as well as the [Bing daily wallpaper](https://bing.wallpaper.pics/) without having to install anything.

Before starting, you need to download FFmpeg and that is detailed in the [release](https://github.com/leadedge/SpoutWallpaper/releases/tag/1.001). After that, have fun.

Developed with Windows 10 and it might work on Windows 11 but has not been tested. There are no guarantees that it’s faultless but sharing anyway.

That’s good news for Windows 11. A [quick update](https://github.com/leadedge/SpoutWallpaper/releases) is out to fix a few bugs.
