Open League Displays

What is Open League Displays?

License: MIT

Open League Displays is an open source, cross platform application for downloading and setting high resolution wallpapers to your desktop.

Screencast.from.30-04-23.11.09.43.mp4

The whole idea and design came from the Riot Game's League Displays which is an application that runs only under Windows and isn't maintained anymore.

I was really enjoying Riot's League Displays but I was also getting frustrated over the fact that I couldn't set my wallpaper to newly released skins or on my Linux machine. So I decided to create this project.

How to download and install it?

Go to the releases page and download the latest version for your operating system. Because I don't own a mac, I haven't built it and test it there, if you known how to use a shell and are familiar with node, you can build it yourself (see below).

How it works?

  • It gets updated about new skins from Riot's DataDragon API automatically.
  • It downloads low resolution images from Riot's DataDragon API (CDN) used for thumbnails in the UI.
  • It downloads high resolution images from League of Legends Fandom Wiki used for the wallpapers.

How to run it / build it from source?

git clone git@github.com:KonstantinosPetrakis/open-league-displays.git
cd open-league-displays
npm install
npm run reset # This will delete all stored data if any, and push migrations to the database
# npm run reset-windows Equivalent to npm run reset but for windows
npm run dev 
npm run build 
# npm run build-windows Equivalent to npm run build but for windows

Known issues

  • The application doesn't work for skins with repeated champion names (Draven Draven, Bard Bard, ...) the solution is trivial but I am too lazy to implement it right now.
  • Data loss on thumbnails or incomplete download/initial update could happen on extremely (<1mbps) slow connections. This most likely happens because the concurrent connections are getting timed out from the DataDragon API Server.
