Added Windows support #45

Closed nucular closed 8 years ago

nucular commented 8 years ago

Works on Vista upwards because XP only supports BMP wallpapers, although that would be an easy fix I'm not sure whether it's actually needed (and it would increases the file size tremendously).

I have also included a bugfix for cases where the counter would stay None for some reason, maybe due to a race condition.

This script is actually based on a Windows script, as mentioned in #17. Is there any reason a Windows python version is required?

nucular commented 8 years ago

It certainly isn't really needed but in my opinion it's nice to have an application that works on as many platforms as possible, especially when supporting one doesn't require any huge changes.

I agree that change is not huge at all, but I prefer not to add Windows to the list, considering that there is a native alternative, which made me write a Linux (and then OS X) version.
