Build Requirements

  • Building for Windows requires wine and mono (on macOS, Linux)
  • Building for Linux requires fakeroot and dpkg (on macOS, Windows)
  • Only macOS can build for other platforms.

macOS Build Setup

Install Homebrew, then run:

brew install wine mono fakeroot dpkg

Linux Build Setup

sudo apt-get install wine mono fakeroot dpkg

Continuous Integration

Turnkey build-in-the-cloud for Windows 10, macOS and Linux.

The process is managed by a custom layer of node scripts and Electron-optimized configuration templates. Completed Installation packages are deployed to GitHub Releases. Builds for all platforms and architectures take about 5 minutes. Backed by the open-source-friendly guys at Travis and AppVeyor and running electron-packager under the hood.

  1. Fork the repo
  2. Generate your GitHub Personal Access Token using "repo" as scope. Copy it to the clipboard.
  3. macOS + Linux
    1. Sign in to Travis using GitHub.
    2. Open your Travis Profile, click "Sync Account" and wait for the process to complete.
    3. Find this repository in the list, enable it and click "⚙" to open its settings.
    4. Create a new Environment Variable named GITHUB_TOKEN. Paste your Token from step 2 as value.
  4. Windows
    1. Sign in to AppVeyor using GitHub.
    2. Click on "New Project", select "GitHub", look up this repo in the list and click "Add".

    4. Select "Add Variable", insert GITHUB_TOKEN for name, paste your Token as value. Save.

Triggering Builds

  1. Add a new Tag to start the build process:

    git tag -a v1.0.1
    git push --tags

    The builds are started in parallel and added to the "Releases" page of the GitHub repo (in draft mode).

  2. Use the editing feature to publish the new app version.

  3. There is no step 3

Windows Version

At time of print, wallpaper apps - which are in essence Desktop applications claiming a special UI layer between the icon- and wallpaper space - are not readily implementable using the Electron framework, due to current limitations of the BrowserWindow API with regards to the Windows platform.

If this status quo changes, so will this application.
