Cross Fade to another image - possible? #61

Closed Iono-9 closed 5 years ago

When invoking, for example,

wallpaper.set('unicorn.jpg');

is it possible to make it so the wallpaper crossfade to another image, not just instantly change?

You didn't mention what OS you need it for. On macOS, it's possible to do it by placing a window at the desktop level filled with the desktop wallpaper, replace the wallpaper, and fade out the window. This creates the cross-fade effect. For other OSes, I have no idea. This is outside the scope of this package regardless.
