FAQ

1. Can I build it on Raspberry Pi?

   Yes. It works on Raspbian. Clone the source code and follow the build instructions. The first build can take a few minutes but later builds with be fast.

2. Where are the default images coming from?

   For now, only from NASA Image of the Day.

3. Can I use this application without Internet?

   You need Internet connection to build it. Afterwards you don't need Internet if you use your own images (see next question).

4. Can I use my own images?

   Yes. Create a directory called background in the bin directory (created after build) and drop your images there. The images must be jpeg.

5. What shortcut keys are available?

   • F: toggle full screen
   • Ctrl + R: reload
   • Ctrl + Shift + I: toggle dev tools

6. Can I contribute/help?
