DesktoBeauty

Improves the Desktop Experience by periodically changing its wallpaper to one of your awesome pictures.

Setting the Wallpaper Pool

Upon the first launch, the program generates and opens the folder - so you can fill it with pictures.
In order to later modify it, you can access it using the tray icon, and restart the program if it's currently running.

Configuration

The program takes the following CLI parameters in this order:

1. Delay after a background change.
   Examples: "5 seconds" | "10 minutes" | "1 minute, 10 seconds"

2. Wallpaper Selection Algorithm:

   • Random: Selects a random wallpaper.
   • Random Order: Selects a random wallpaper, but an already selected one cannot repeat until the rest were selected.
     Example using numbers: 1, 3, 2 -> 1, 2, 3 -> 2, 3, 1
   • Gradual Random - Selects a random wallpaper whose brightness is moderately higher than the previous one; This prevents the annoying flash when a bright picture is selected right after a dark one.
