Background
Silk Waves
Background for the Xenon dashboard, by Xenon
Slow flowing wave lines over a midnight gradient, an animated backdrop that stays out of the way.
What a background does
A background replaces the dashboard's backdrop with an animated scene that draws behind your tiles. It runs locally on your own machine, with no video file to download.
This one asks a little more of the machine than most — it is worth knowing before you load it onto a small screen.
Free. Copy the share code, then paste it into Xenon under Settings → Widgets & sharing → Import. Everything stays on your machine.
How to install it
- Open Silk Waves in the catalog and press Copy code.
- In Xenon, open Settings → Widgets & sharing → Import and paste the code.
- Xenon shows you what the code contains before anything is applied. Confirm, and Silk Waves is on your dashboard.
- Do not have Xenon yet? It is free and open source, for Windows, macOS and Linux.
