OperaGX and Wallpaper Engine

A large percentage of Gamers use an application called Wallpaper Engine from steam to enhance their wallpaper and make their Desktop POP. I think that it would be a very interesting idea to be able to use Opera on Wallpaper Engine or vice versa. To be able to use your wallpaper engine wallpaper to not only be your wallpaper but also your background for Opera GX. Not only would this increase profits for opera for more people using their browser but more gamers would be aware of wallpaper engine, which I think is one of the most 'worth it' purchase's I have made as a gamer. If nothing comes of this that is ok, i just think it is a very interesting idea and topic and think that a large player base would like to see a collaboration between these 2 systems that seem to be able to comingle already but aren't attached to each other.

I'd be totally down for this, It would certainly expand the Varying Wallpaper Selections we have but to do this, but they'd not only have to make an agreement with the person who Created Wallpaper Engine, but also permission from steam to access the workshop as that's where User-Created Wallpapers are uploaded too.
I think it's possible in the future this could be a partnership we'd see, but there's a couple of hurdles aside from agreements that would need to be made, Plugin's to be developed, patches made for Wallpaper Engine to work in conjunction with Opera's Multithreaded Compensator, etc.
Also, additionally work on GX Mods so that it plays nice with the Wallpaper Engine Plugin, as it has it's own Wallpaper Mod Access, so you don't want that to override wallpaper engine and vice versa, and there's the thing of wallpapers that might have music attached to them and how to handle that.
I'm sure these things can be managed, but it would certainly take time.
