Hello, I have a file (a video), around 7.6mb, that is formatted to .WebM (because I read that it needs to be WebM for it to work) and I cant seem to get the file to be added as my wallpaper. If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know! Thank you for any and all help

@jdiski Yes, the article is seven years old or more. Just click on add custom/own wallpaper in settings or on easy setup.

@leocg yes i tried this as well. the WebM file doesn’t show up as an option when i do this. pictures do, but not any WebM files.

@jdiski As the article says, it needs to be a zip file with the necessary contents in it.

1. Add the required WebM or animated WebP
   file(s) in a directory.
2. Specify details about the theme in a
   persona. ini file.
3. Zip up the persona, ini file along with the
   WebM or animated Web file(s).
4. Go to opera: //themes. Drag and drop
   the . zip file to the window.

ok I see. My issue then is, all I have is the WebM file, and I don’t know how or where to get ‘p ini file.
