Slideshow: It supports slideshows from local sources with configurable file order and a tray applet for slideshow control.

Linux environments: Listed supported Linux desktop environments and window managers include KDE, XFCE, GNOME, Cinnamon, LXDE/LXQt, MATE, Budgie, Pantheon, i3, and BSPWM.

Windows installation: A Windows installer and portable package are available for Windows 10 and 11.
macOS limit: The project says macOS support is partial, with no hotkeys, and that installation requires setting up dependencies and running the project.

Wallpaper folder limit: When adding wallpapers by folder, the project says subfolders are not included.
License: Superpaper is published under the MIT License.
