Why aren't file manager wallpapers a thing? Most times you boot your PC, it's either gonna be to head over to the browser, or to head over to the file manager, you barely spend any time at your desktop, and while most browsers do allow you to set a home page wallpaper, you also barely spend any time at your home page. Meanwhile, it's not that rare to spend a lot of time sorting files, so a wallpaper would be nice.

Too much processing power to be worth saving 2 fucking seconds

the real redpill is to make all program uis transparent and so you can always see portions of your desktop background no matter what programs are open, and even if a program is fulledscreened.

that looks great in the desktop thread not for daily use

based but people usually make the transparency too strong which limits the readability of text. you should mostly see a blur of colors instead of any detail from the wallpaper
>>
The Enlightenment desktop does that

Since everyone asked, personally I think any kind of transparency is a meme. But if you wanna do it, well I can't stop you, although I would if I could.

back in the GNOME 2 days you could set a wallpaper or background pattern for Nautilus, the file manager.
It was taken out because "there's no use case for this"

Rox Filer can do this, though you have to edit a config file.
