MEMORY EFFICIENCY

I know that many users are scared of Electron applications due to their reputation for being "RAM eaters". This GUI is specifically designed for maximum efficiency to address those concerns:

  • Go Backend: A lightweight Go process handles the system tray, configuration, and wallpaper management.
  • Electron Frontend: The Electron-based UI is only launched when needed. When you minimize the application to the tray, the Electron process is completely terminated, freeing up all the memory it was using.

PREREQUISITES

[!IMPORTANT] This application requires linux-wallpaperengine to be installed on your system to function.

INSTALLATION

Arch Linux (AUR)

Install using your favorite AUR helper:

# Using yay
yay -S linux-wallpaperengine-gui-git

USAGE

Launch it from your application menu or via terminal:
