Wallpaper Switcher

Wallpaper management for multi-monitor setup on Windows, built on Electron.

Installing

Clone the repository and perform:

$ npm install

Prerequisites

• git
• python (v2.7 recommended for node-gyp)
• VC++ Build Environment

Delivering a pre-built out-of-box version is on the roadmap.

Usage

To enable the backend service run on startup:

$ npm run addautorun

To remove the backend service run on startup:

$ npm run removeautorun

To bring up config program and change wallpaper settings:

$ npm start

The config program recreates the native Windows 10 settings app experience. Zero learning curve for windows users.

Delivering a installer that handles autorun automatically is on the roadmap.
