Walltaker95

A Walltaker client for legacy Windows versions (<= Windows Vista)

Build instructions (CachyOS)

$ paru -Sy cmake mingw-w64-toolchain mingw-w64-curl mingw-w64-openssl
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../TC-mingw.cmake ../
$ cmake --build .

Note: You'll need to supply a 32-bit libcurl-4.dll manually as I can't figure out how to make it build on its own at the moment. You can grab the latest one from curl.se which should at least work on XP.

Feature progress:

• The bare minimum
  • Downloads images
  • Sets the wallpaper
  • Converts images to BMP automatically
  • Reads configuration from wt95.ini
  • Runs in the background
  • Continuously and asychronously polls the Walltaker API
    • Makes sure it isn't grabbing the same image every time
• Niceities
  • Context menu
    • Display who set the wallpaper
    • Display the e621 post ID
    • Buttons for reacting to the wallpaper
    • Button to open config file
  • Display e621 post ID in the tray icon's tooltip
  • Allow GIF wallpapers to be set for 32-bit systems via Active Desktop (<= Windows XP only)

Tested and confirmed working on:

• Windows Vista
• Windows XP (SP3)
• Windows 2000
• Windows ME
• Windows 98 (SE)
• Windows NT 4
• Windows 95
• Windows NT 3.51

Note: This software should work fine in newer versions of Windows, but you should probably stick to a client actually targeting newer versions.
