Installation

This is my recommeded installation for Windows

  1. Clone this repository to any <location> on your PC (HDD if present).
  2. Right-click your desktop and select personalize.
  3. Under the Backgrounds section, select <location>/IrisBackgrounds/images.
  4. For a single monitor, set the mode to centre or fill. For multiple, use centre or fill for multiple images or span for a single across all screens. These settings appear to give the best results, though feel free to try other modes.
  5. Set the refresh time to anything. I personally use 1 minute.
  6. Enjoy exactly 225 (and counting) screenshots every time you see your desktop!

Uploading

To contribute screenshots to this collection, each image must be

  • at least 1920x1080,
  • free of copyrighted material,
  • of decent quality (no pixelation, no compression artifacts, etc.),
  • named with the format yyyy-mm and of .jpg or .png format (e.g. 2000-01.png, regex used: ^\d{4}-\d{2}\.(png|jpg)$),
  • of lower file size than 25MB

To upload your screenshots, you can:

  • Make a PR with your screenshots added to the images folder, or
  • Send them in the Volmit Software Discord (after which I have to find & select them)
