## Important note to the inner workings
|
||||
Preload does exactly what it says. It loads the entire wallpaper into memory. This can result in around 8 - 20MB of mem usage. It is not recommended to preload every wallpaper you have, as it will be a) taking a couple seconds at the beginning to load and b) take 100s of MBs of disk and RAM usage.
|
||||
|
||||
Preload is meant only for situations in which you want a wallpaper to switch INSTANTLY when you issue a wallpaper keyword (e.g. wallpaper per workspace)
|
||||
|
||||
In any and all cases when you don't mind waiting 300ms for the wallpaper to change, consider making a script that:
|
||||
- preloads the new wallpaper
|
||||
- sets the new wallpaper
|
||||
- unloads the old wallpaper (to free memory)
