Description

I've got a slightly flaky internet connection, sometimes there's issues when starting up, and delays when switching between wallpapers which use shadertoy.

It'd be nice if it were possible to store these wallpapers locally. Ideally, lively would cache a copy, preferring a live version if/when it's available, with a setting to change this behaviour on an individual wallpaper and globally - options could be cache and don't try to get live, cache but prefer live, don't cache at all

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how current shadertoy wallpapers are fetched and displayed. Design a caching system using local storage (e.g., file system) with configurable settings for cache behavior. Implement UI controls for global and per wallpaper cache preferences.
