tip to make this better: make it seemless once you’re finished
Filters -> map -> Make seemless

I did that and it looked good, i’m going to be putting it as my site’s bg just because i’ve been looking for a way to do this exact thing and i’m grateful that i can now

Instead simplexml_load_file I prefer to use curl. I am not sure does simplexml_load_file use file_get_contents technique, but curl have much better performances then file_get_contents. Please follow curl vs file_get_contents. It would be nice to do few performance tests. Of course, caching fetched data is a very important feature. If your site have much visitors, and you do requests to remote server for each visitor, the remote server may "detect attack".
