xwaifu draws an image overlay above all other windows, making it visible at all times. It's pretty much just like Xteddy, but with a few additional features. Useful to decorate your desktop or when you need to reference an image while working.
- Set image location and size
- Set image translucency
- Option to make image disappear when hovered over
- Image can be clicked through, so that windows below the image can still be interacted with
- Support for Extended Window Manager Hints
usage: xwaifu [-fhrR] [-a ALPHA] [-g GEOMETRY] image_file
-a ALPHA set image translucency
-f hide image when hovered over
-g GEOMETRY set window position and/or size
-h print this message
-r set image width automatically
-R set image height automatically
For a detailed description of each option and a couple examples, please read the manual.

Installing requires root privileges,
so you may have to use sudo.

this can be changed by setting the PREFIX variable to something else when calling make.
