Hi, I wondered, if we can make a pseudo-xdg standard for dynamic wallpapers by doing PRs to either side?
Since this is an external plugin and gnome has it natively already (42+), I think this one can adapt easier to that instead of vice versa.
An example file from fedora

  </starttime>
<!-- This animation will start at 8 AM. -->

<!-- We start with day at 8 AM. It will remain up for 10 hours. -->

<!-- Day ended and starts to transition to night at 6 PM. The transition lasts for 2 hours, ending at 8 PM. -->
<transition type="overlay">

<!-- It's 6 AM, and we're starting to transition to day. Transition completes at 8 AM. -->
<transition type="overlay">

<to>/usr/share/backgrounds/f38/default/f38-01-day.png</to>
</transition>

</background>

Like that
resim

Or should I bring this up to respective design teams instead?
Thanks.
