Xwinwrap

My fork of xwinwrap.
Xwinwrap allows you to stick most of the apps to your desktop background.
My use case - can use gif as a background

Compiling

gcc -Wall xwinwrap.c -lX11 -lXext -lXrender -g -o xwinwrap

You may have to use -L flag to specify directory for xlib. e.g. gcc -Wall xwinwrap.c -L /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lX11 -lXext -lXrender -g -o xwinwrap
