Hanabi is a GNOME Shell extension that enables live video wallpapers on the GNOME desktop. It supports GNOME 45+ (with a TypeScript rewrite targeting GNOME 50+ on Wayland) and includes a preference window for selecting wallpaper videos.
Use cases
- set a live video wallpaper on GNOME
- play animated wallpapers on Linux desktop
- customize GNOME desktop background with video
- use live wallpapers on Wayland
- replace static wallpaper with video on GNOME Shell
When to choose
- you run GNOME Shell 45 or later and want video wallpapers
- you use Wayland and want an actively maintained live wallpaper extension
- you want a free, open-source alternative to proprietary live wallpaper apps
When to avoid
- you use a desktop environment other than GNOME
- you need X11 support on GNOME 50+ (main branch is Wayland only)
- you are on GNOME 42-44 (legacy branch, unsupported)
- you cannot tolerate extra CPU/GPU usage from video playback
