Fixes:

• Lively Web Properties Button text changes to “True” after some use.
• Added a process ignore rule to Rainmeter widgets, so that users can opt for Pause on Focus changed and still have the wallpaper running when interacting with widgets #58

Notice:

• Auto update might fail due to smartscreen filter, the setup is downloaded to “Documents/Lively Wallpaper/tmpdata/update.exe”

Known Issues:

• Wallpaper size being incorrect with multiple display with varying scaling dpi.
• Screensaver might get disabled when using default video players, as a temporary fix:
“Open Windows media player rightclick empty area top - > Tools - > Options and then select Allow screen saver during playback.” or use DirectShow videoplayer.
• Automatic Library Import is currently disabled for “Duplicate” wallpaper mode.
• Video stutter with default video players in some systems, as a temporary fix use mpv.
• Scrollbar might appear in web wallpaper after adding to library, as a temporary fix restart wallpaper.
