Desktop state is neatly organized using freedesktop standards. Since components are so modular, it’s trivial to replace or modify any of them using any client program you wish.

    Ya that’s totally fair. I just thought it was funny that the desktop background was one of the only two apps that appear to have state on your system.

    Speaking of the Cosmic background, since they are already rendering it with the GPU they should let you specify a custom frag shader for it. Then you could have some really wild desktop eye candy.
