Canvas Cycle - Animated Web Wallpaper

Description
Various animated pixel art wallpapers created by Mark Ferrari, based on http://www.effectgames.com/demos/canvascycle/

The scenes in this wallpaper use color palette cycling to achieve smooth looping animations, meaning there are no videos used so it can scale nicely to high resolutions while still maintaining the sharp pixel art look.

Features:
- A total of 35 animated scenes
- Wallpaper adjusts to screen resolution
- Wallpaper can change randomly base on a set interval
- Or choose a fixed wallpaper to display
- Adjustable FPS limit to keep performance impact low
- Adjustable animation speed
- Optional ambient audio with adjustable volume for some scenes
- Switch between smooth or classic color blending

The source code can be found on GitHub: https://github.com/jmdajm7/canvas-cycle

I have also created a wallpaper based on the Living Worlds scenes:

There is the Living Worlds wallpaper here https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2119347960
and there is also an Android live wallpaper version (which I do plan to eventually™ turn into a wallpaper as well, tough its only really suitable for portrait screens) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pixfabrik.livingworlds

Other than that I'm not aware of any other similar wallpapers by the same artist.

Hello, first of all, I love this so much, but I'm looking for something very similar. I was wondering if you knew any desktop backgrounds with this exact Canvas Cycle project, I've been searching for years and I haven't come across it yet.

@Plasma
I'm not sure what white borders you mean as the wallpapers should not have any border, except maybe a black background depending on the selected scaling option. I've tested it with a few different resolutions and could not recreate that.

@Freeman's Freedom
While I'm not entirely sure what the issue is that you are having, I've just added an option to disable the scene transition fade, hope that helps :)

Any way to fix the white border around some of the wallpapers?

Is it possible to disable de fade in animation on change? Not being able to do so means having a black lockscreen if you want both to be synced :/
