It is essentially a wallpaper browser, modifier, and manager for jpg/png/bmp images (NOT live wallpapers).

Features that make it unique: - ability to set only a specific area of an image as your background without creating a new image - filter and sort by aspect ratio and colour among other common ones - infinite length history of all set wallpapers that you can go back to and instantly set again - ability to set any image as a wallpaper no matter the size (for example, windows doesn’t let you set images larger than about 10m pixels)

I got sick of using the built in windows wallpaper manager because of its clunkyness, performance, and generally low amount of features, so I built this instead.

I plan to support virtually all Linux DEs in the future, and OSX if possible as well. I also plan to add support for built-in "cronjobs" where a user can set automatically-changing wallpapers where they can specify either time of day or amount of hours until next wallpaper is toggled.

Still in early stages of development, but I would really appreciate any feedback and feature suggestions. Love to give back to the community so I hope at least one of you finds this interesting!
