Well I couldn't help myself an the fading trick does indeed work on
Hardy. I've attached an example wallpaper.xml file that fades between 2
wallpapers. I also don't know what the "starttime" means yet.
I haven't tinkered with color changes to the wall though. I just tested
to see if it works. I will say at the example settings it's a bit
choppy. Longer fade durations and subtle color changes might look better
though.
You edit the example to suit the images you want then you can D&D it
(the .xml) to the wallpaper dialog.
