Today’s update to the x64 build of DeskPet fixes the cropping issue for what should be almost all WMs! (and… Windows if I release that build)

X11 might also work now, but I haven’t wanted to test that. Hopefully cross-desktop movement support will improve with later Wayland changes.

Since Wayland is actually intended to stop these kinds of shenanigans, the way/extent of which DeskPet works is on a per-WM basis.

Luckily, DeskPet works perfectly on all recent versions of Hyprland! That’s where I developed all of this, and it’s also probably the most lenient in terms of horrible things you can do to it.

This means that (until I implement some awful workaround), these issues occur without Hyprland:

• Your pet starts out centered, meaning you’ll have to drag it to your position. (there is usually a key combo for this) (Affects Non-Hyprland Wayland Only)

• Your pet can’t chase you across desktops. There is a dummy script executed on non-Hyprland systems that allows you to write it for your specific WM.

- Your pet may or may not get randomly cropped. This is an issue with window sizing that’s probably going to be a pain to get working on every single WM.

If you’re aware of a feature in your WM that allows this behavior, please make a merge request for it! I can implement the rest if needed.
