+## mkStaticImage
+takes an image, as well as optionally polarity, and an override, which can either be a path to a base16 yaml file or and attrset.
+example
+```nix
+stylix.wallpaper = config.lib.stylix.mkStaticImage {
+  image = /path/to/image;
+  polarity = "dark";
+  override = /path/to/scheme.yml;
+}
+```
+## mkStaticFill
+takes a colorscheme as an input.
+```nix
+stylix.wallpaper = config.lib.stylix.mkStaticFill /path/to/scheme.yml;
+```
+## mkSlideshow
+takes an image directory, polarity, override, and a delay rate in seconds as an input.
+```nix
+stylix.wallpaper = config.lib.stylix.mkSlideshow {
+  imageDir = /path/to/dir;
+  delay = 300;
+};
+```
+## mkAnimation
+takes an animation (gif or similar format), as well as polarity and an override as an input.
+```nix
+stylix.wallpaper = config.lib.stylix.mkAnimation {
+  animation = /path/to/animation.gif;
+};
+```
+## mkVideo
+takes an video (mp4 or similar format), as well as polarity and an override as an input.
+```nix
+stylix.wallpaper = config.lib.stylix.mkAnimation {
+  video = /path/to/video.mp4;
+};
+```
