More customisation options

[42willow]

EDIT (18th Oct 2023): I've ditched windows in favour of Linux so I probably won't be using this much (if at all anymore). I still dual boot windows and run it for a few hours daily though - just won't be working on this project much for now.

This would be the best wallpaper for lively if it had all this combined into one, with options to enable or disable each one. Especially with the upcoming release of the lively "gallery"!

Main things to be implemented:

• Visualiser! #16
• Weather #20
  • Clock
  • Date
  • Configurable corner on screen
• Performance stats #9
• Slider to move entire landscape up #14
• [Music Visualiser] Amplitude limiter slider #21

Here are some sample projects by RockDanister:

• Time: Self explanatory
• Audio Visualiser: https://github.com/rocksdanister/audio-visualizer-wallpaper
• Weather: https://github.com/rocksdanister/weather-fetch-wallpaper
• System stats: https://github.com/rocksdanister/system-stats-wallpaper

It did a lot of this awhile ago on my home pc using rainmeter, however I found that the visualizer took quite a performance hit. I’ll send a picture when I have free time and the config if they’re exportable.

@42willow Do you want the config, only thing is that it's setup on my second monitor so you'll have to move things around.
One thing about Rainmeter though, is that the combined wallpaper and visualizer will have an even bigger impact on performance.

No thanks, I'm trying to achieve all this with just lively and without rainmeter (I predominantly use my laptop on battery life)

I'll work on it in my spare time and make some PR's if I can (the code is probably going to be a bit cursed though)

I could always help make a few things but it would be a lot easier if I knew what you were going for. Ex. An edited photo with the desired aesthetic.

Pretty much the same as your screenshot, but without rainmeter.

Similar to this https://github.com/rocksdanister/audio-visualizer-wallpaper visualiser. But smaller, (in any position on the screen) with the firefly effect that's seen at night coming out from the image when the music is playing.

I'm working on totally not copying the visualiser at the moment.

So far:

Update on progress:

oops I accidently made a new bug (sun in the lake?) it's fixed now

[Ju1-js]

I've got the js down for the weather, do you want me to make it look pretty much identical to the one in my original image?

[42willow]

that would be great!

[Ju1-js]

With the clock and date too?

[42willow]

Yes please, my clock and date looks a bit questionable.

I'll just work on making the visualiser look nicer and submit a PR
