WavyBackgrounds v0.1.2

WavyBackgrounds - v0.1.1

WavyBackgrounds v0.1.1

This is a universal binary for macOS (x86_64 and aarch64/arm64).

Changelog

• Removed cURL as a dependency (incompatibilities when used in an async environment)
• Reworked ObjC window handling by using unique window identifiers
• Fix double free problems, where ObjC ARC and the NSWindow class would try to free the same object twice
• Implemented function to remove dynamic backgrounds on the current (active) space
• When applying a video, which was not cached before, it will be downloaded first (instead of silently crashing the application)

WavyBackgrounds - v0.1.0

DO NOT USE!

Problem occurs during execution (double free, malloc). Interestingly enough only in Release Builds, Debug Builds (i.e., with hot reload) work just fine.

WavyBackgrounds v0.1.0

This is a universal binary (x86_64 and aarch64/arm64).

Changelog

• Switched to the Tauri frontend and uses Rust as the backend language now
• Is independent of any video files, which one had already downloaded via the System Settings
• Now has a System Tray
• Backgrounds don't move around in spaces
• Backgrounds stay in place when Mission Control is used

Missing implementations

• Ability to close the dynamic background on the active space only¹

1. Skeleton code is commented out, always got a SEGFAULT (ERR_BAD_ACCESS) during testing. Could very well be because of the somewhat unstable state of the objc crate. ↩

v0.1 Alpha

Can do basic stuff. Look for the Sonoma videos, show a little example picture and finally launch the newly created NSWindow with the video player. Currently is relatively energy intensive.
