Wallpaper-Elements

Let your wallpaper be more than just a wallpaper! With Wallpaper Elements, your wallpaper can now be modified to display sticky notes :D

Installation

---

Clone the repo and install requirements

git clone https://github.com/Dhanvantg/Wallpaper-Elements.git
cd Wallpaper-Elements
pip install -r requirements.txt

Create note.txt

Create a note.txt file in the folder and keep it handy (possibly a desktop shortcut). Everytime you edit this file, the sticky note is changed automatically

Run the script

python script.py

Automation

---

It gets tiring to run the script everytime on startup and to have a black console window in the background all the time.

Create a .exe file

We can package everything into a neat .exe file which runs in the background without the console window open

pip install pyinstaller
pyinstaller script.py --onefile --noconsole

After its done, the executable can be found in Scripts/dist . Move it elsewhere and delete the generated folders

Schedule a Task

Use Windows Task Scheduler to run the file on startup

Create Basic Task >> Trigger > When the computer starts >> Action > Start a program > Enter script path >> Finish
