Option to set as wallpaper

[egk2374]

In macOS Sonoma (and maybe earlier versions) you can set some of the built-in screensavers (such as the Sonoma screensaver) as the desktop wallpaper. I'd love to be able to do that with the Matrix screensaver but the option is not available for it.

I'd love to such feature as well.

Dude I've been trying to figure this out all day. https://old.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/1eqbq37/macos_sonoma_or_later_apply_your_own_dynamic/

I'd also love something like this. Like the dynamic wallpaper that comes by default "Macintosh" which show a classic Macintosh gui screensaver and when you exit the screen saver it transition the same screensaver into a wallpaper.

Loved the screensaver.

This should be fairly simple to do as there's a framework for it, called NeptuneOne.

• Macintosh is not the best example, as it is rather active - it shows, for example, current date.
• Monterey probably neither - a while ago, I found out it has a 3D model of the really Monterey, which is then rendered as shades of colours.
• but Tahoe could be a possible candidate as it is a set of one-minute videos which get downloaded to your ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.NeptuneOneExtension/Data/Library/Application\ Support/Videos

So all we need is the Matrix code as a video which can be played in a loop, quite challenging but doable, and then create own NeptuneOne plugin pointing to this video.
