anavi is one of those things that you
must have in your learnings distribution
because using it you can apply live
wallpapers to your desktop like these
ones back in the days live wallpapers
used to be very popular in phones
especially in Android smartphones but
like everything else the trend FedEd
away but with hanavi you can get it back
at least onto your learning desktop so
this video we will see how to get hanavi
and its required dependencies second we
will set it up and fix some of the known
issues with hanavi and At Last I will
share you some of the popular sources
online from where you can get awesome
live wallpapers so let's get started now
there is one Clause with hanavi if I
haven't mentioned before then hanavi is
a gome extension which means it can only
work on the distributions that have gome
as a desktop environment and gome is one
of the most popular desktop environment
out there and many popular distributions
like Ubuntu Fedora pop West manzaro they
all come with a gome built and even if
your distribution doesn't have a gnome
build you can easily install
gnome while keeping this clause in mind
let's set things up first we are going
to install the dependencies and uh they
are very easy to do I might already have
in my system because I tried Hanabi
before so just open the Thal and uh
execute this command so what this
command will do basically install gitm
and this media G streamer uh Library I
already have these libraries but uh for
the sake of demonstration I'm going to
so just hit this command it will
download these dependencies and install
on to your system after getting these
dependencies we will get the hanavi from
the get so we are going to use get to
basically download the project onto our
system and then Mas to build it and I
think this will be used for the video
purposes I guess so let's get the
project for that you have to execute
this command we are using git and we are
cloning it so just hit the command and
it will create a folder by this name and
it will download the all the files so
now we just have to S to that
folder and uh we will find all the
project related files and we have this
script over here and we just have to
execute this script now to execute this
script we just have to type do/ and the
file name and uh we have to pass the
install as a parameter hit the enter and
it will be very quick everything is done
now so this shows all the available
extensions onto the system and hanavi
should be listed here and uh I'm not
able to find the Hanabi if that is the
case with you as well then you just have
to log out from your system and log back
in so I'm going to just do
that I have just logged out and logged
in back to my system and now let me
check
again and you can see the Hanabi
extension is listed over here now I just
have to enable it and uh it will get
activated by default it doesn't have any
file live wallpaper so we have to
provide that file so it accepts video
files I have one uh downloaded already
on my system so the wallpaper is looking
really good right it is looking sick you
also have the these options available so
you can simply pause the video if you
want you can also mute the audio if the
video has any audio you can unmute it
and play it back AP from that you can
directly open the preferences from here
after activating the hanavi extension
and you can change the different
settings and different uh live
wallpapers as well now before going to
the uh live wallpaper resources I have
to tell you one more thing which is if
in your system you're seeing this red
mark in your hanavi extension then it
basically means that the extension is
not supported in your gome version
basically to fix that what you can do
you just have to go to your settings
find out the version of gnome that is
installing your system so just navigate
to the systems and uh find out the gnome
version in my case I'm using the gnome
version 46 this is the latest LTS of2
this extension supports this particular
version if in your system it is not uh
supporting then what you can do you just
note down the gome version mine was 46
yours can be like 44.6 foot and uh you
just have to note it and go to in your
file explorer and hit contr H this will
basically enable hidden files you just
have to look for a folder called local.
local and inside this folder just
navigate to the share and inside the
share folder just navigate to the G cell
folder inside it extensions and inside
you will find this hanavi extension
folder here you just have to modify a
file so this is the metadata. Json file
and here you can see currently this
extension only support 45 and 46 version
of the gome cell and if your for example
yours version is
44.2 then you can simply type here in
the double quotes and uh just save this
file and log out from your system log
back in and open the extension manager
and uh the red Mark will be gone this is
a quick hack to basically allow the
extension to work in your particular
gome version now let's see some of the
best resources available on the internet
from where you can get the live world
papers my favorite one is motion
background.com and this website has a
wide range of live wallpapers and it
also offers different resolutions like
4K and 1080p apart from that the best
part about this particular uh website is
that it provides you the optimize
wallpapers so the the live wallpaper
file is a video file right and that
video file can be optimized so that it
consume very less resources of your
system now how do I know that because I
basically downloaded some of the
wallpapers and tried it on my system and
they basically uh do not lag and uh if I
try to download wallpapers from
different websites other than motion
backgrounds then some of them uh
basically relax apart from that there
are different options also available and
they provide you different test of live
wallpapers like desktop heart my
wallpapers my live wallpapers.com and
this one live
wallpapers. pc.com so all these websites
have a ton of live wallpapers but they
all lack to provide multi-resolution
options and the file size is often
bigger when it compared to the motion
backgrounds live wallpapers having said
that there are options available out
there and uh if you find any better
options then these ones then do let me
know about them in the comment section
