WallpaperWorks

Display works of art on your desktop wallpaper.

Building

Before you're able build WallpaperWorks, you'll have to provide a font and icon. To do this, first clone the repository and enter it (see instructions below), then, create a resources directory in the project root and copy a font.ttf and favicon.ico of your liking into it. For the best experience, we recommend using an icon encoded at multiple sizes. You can convert a regular image to an ico file by going to icoconverter.com, or by using the following ImageMagick command.

convert in.jpg -define icon:auto-resize=32,48,64,128,256 -compress zip favicon.ico

Windows

To build on Windows, first install Git, then download and launch w64devkit. Before you build, you must provide resources (see instructions above). Once you have everything in order, run

git clone https://github.com/Aaron-Speedy/WallpaperWorks
cd WallpaperWorks
./configure.sh # This should take about 10 minutes
./build.sh

If that works, congratulations! To run it, move into the build directory and run ./WallpaperWorks.exe. We also provide an installer. To install the program, first install NSIS, then run

./build_installer.sh
./build/WallpaperWorksInstaller.exe
