Wallpaperfy

Platform agnostic wallpaper maker, and wallpaper manager.
Turn any image into a viable wallpaper, without having to stretch, or zoom in and crop the images.
Blank spaces that would be there due to image not perfectly filing the screen is filled with parts of the image that is being wallpaperfied.

I always liked how plasma desktop from kde does wallpapers, but i can't always afford to install plasma on my computers, or simply don't want to. Turning each image manually into an wallpaper is time consuming, so i made wallpaperfy.
With this tool i can have wallpapers kde style but without having to install plasma desktop

Look this example:

It's a work in progress, wallpaper manager still not working but it can batch convert a folder and its sub folders into wallpapers, and output it into another folder, no problem. tested on windows 10, linux and freebsd. i have yet to test it on any other os. if you want to test it and give me feed back feel free to do so
