🛠️ Installation

WIP

🚀 Usage

The app is split in two binaries : the service (daemon) and the ui. The daemon is the one setting up the wallpaper and will live on its own when you close the UI.
As such, you don't need to keep Waypaper Engine Window open, and you can save system resources !

To start the daemon, use

cargo run --bin waypaper_engine_daemon --release

To start the UI, use

cargo run --bin waypaper_engine_ui --release

Make sure to start the daemon BEFORE the UI.
