To run it

Download back4.sh and place your desired gif in the gif directory. For ubuntu/xfce set prog=$select4 in back4.sh , You can set stretched style in desktop panel.

cd ~
chmod +x back4.sh
./back4.sh 0.010 gif/pixel.gif &
#./back4 speed pathToGif &

select between feh,xwallpaper,xload,ubuntu-xfce

edit back4.sh, set prog=$select2 for xwallpaper, or select4 for ubuntu-xfce

autostart with i3, in i3 config :

exec_always --no-startup-id killall back4.sh 
exec_always --no-startup-id $HOME/back4.sh 0.03 Downloads/beautycity.gif

To stop it

killall back4.sh

Alternatively

You can add the speed as a suffix to your desired gif.

ls gif/pixel.gif-0.010
./back4.sh gif/pixel.gif-0.010 &

To clean cache

rm -rf /tmp/back4

I search a lighter alternative than feh in cpu ress
