I wrote a script which renders todo.txt to desktop wallpaper, can we add the tool to recommended tool of the todo.txt site?

todoWallpaper is an open-source Python script that overlays your to-do items (in todo.txt format) onto your desktop wallpaper, providing a constant reminder of pending tasks in your working environment.

Actually, this project does not rely on the unique format of todo.txt, you can point the data source to any text file. But I guess other types of files are not necessary to be rendered on your wallpaper in real time.

Hm, too bad that appears to be Windows only. Nice idea.

@Ryuno-Ki
It shouldn't be difficult to port the project to Linux, but in fact, there should be many useful desktop plug-ins in the Linux desktop environment that can do similar things, so Windows users have a more urgent need for such tools.

@metorm very neat idea 👍 .
For any linux users interested in this, take a look at pywal. It has a mode where it can replace background images cross platform (including Windows). I know this as I typically run it without the background change 😆
