electron-wallpaper

Node module that allows you to attach a window as wallpaper in Windows.

This module only supports Windows

electron-wallpaper allows you to insert a Window between the wallpaper and the desktop icons in Windows. User input interaction with the window is not possible, therefore this module is suitable if you wish to build a desktop dashboard application such as Rainmeter but use Electron and NodeJS.

Example application

An example application is located in the /example/ dir, start it by running:

$ npm run example

Installation

Install electron-wallpaper by running:

$ npm install --save electron-wallpaper

Native binaries for win, mac and linux are prebuilt and downloaded when the module is installed.
