This will be an application for users to customize their windows backgrounds by uploading their custom collections, choosing from our preset ones, or even by searching on the spot by keyword. Then, the user can modify which ones are currently in their "rotation" so that it will automatically be changed for them by a set interval of their choosing.
Either download the executable/zip file from one of our releases or run the most recent code from your own machine like so:
- Make sure you have Python 3.8+ installed and added to
PATH - Clone the repo on a computer running either Windows 10 or MacOS
- Open your terminal in the directory that the repo is in
- Install the required Python modules by running the requirements.txt file as such:
pip install -r requirements.txt(doing this in a virtual environment is recommended), bare in mind that some modules aren't supposed to be installed on your machine (due to OS differences) so let the errors be - Run the file using
python main.pyor another method of your choosing
This is meant as a personal open-source project that won't ever be commercialized. Despite there already being an application very similar to ours, Wallpaper Engine on Steam, ours will bring a unique scheduling method, search by way of web scraping a Google Images API rather than community posts, and our collections system is different. We're not even looking at that application for any sort of inspiration, seeing as we had the idea before realizing its existence.
