- For
- Desktop Linux/macOS users and terminal-presentation authors
- Worth noticing
- phonto exposes four Wayland layer-shell placements; stochos lists separate Wayland, X11, and macOS input backends.
Field notes
phonto's description names GStreamer and VA-API for Linux decoding, with EGL drawing onto a layer-shell surface; it names VideoToolbox and CoreAnimation for macOS. The page diagrams four Wayland layer positions and says the wallpaper defaults to the background layer. stochos describes pointer events through zwlr_virtual_pointer_v1, XTest, or CGEventPost, depending on the platform.
