Update: Sep 2, 2021 @ 3:14pm

- Clear counter before starting new one
- Modified count animation in attempt to reduce bug where count drops below zero randomly
- Better code documentation
- Open sourced the project! See https://github.com/realandrew/btc-live-wallpaper

Update: Aug 19, 2021 @ 6:24pm

- Fixed a bug resulting in duplicated network requests. Network traffic should now be halved (and this possibly fixes a bug).

Update: Aug 19, 2021 @ 6:16pm

- Implemented toastify.js for non-distracting debug/error notifications, rather than using alert() which is distracting and is usually hidden behind all your windows.

Update: Aug 19, 2021 @ 2:10pm

- Fixed bug where background wasn't changing colors.
- Disabled refresh bar by default
- Added some debug alerts to try to narrow down bug where price drops to negative infinity.

Update: Aug 13, 2021 @ 6:35pm

- Fixed the refresh bar enabled property not working.
- Switching one property now stops reloading of other properties (i.e. now the background doesn't switch when flipping the refresh enabled property).

Update: Aug 13, 2021 @ 6:08pm

- Refresh bar to show when next price refresh is (a little bit glitchy on higher refresh intervals, this is being looked into).
- Fixed bug where wallpaper engine properties sometimes weren't applied.

Update: Aug 13, 2021 @ 3:46pm

- Switched from deprecated CoinDesk API to the CoinGecko API (removed decimal places as well since CoinGecko returns an integer). This is in preparation for future features, which require more data that CoinDesk's API didn't return.
- Added a simple dark mode option (might be improved/expanded in the future).

Update: Aug 13, 2021 @ 12:38am

Added a text shadow to the price. Add a wallpaper engine property to change the price refresh interval (default is 5 seconds, minimum is 5 seconds, and maximum is 5 minutes).

Update: Aug 13, 2021 @ 12:05am

Fixed price being interpreted as an integer rather than a float, causing the decimal to be truncated and thus always end in .00;

Update: Aug 12, 2021 @ 7:44pm

Added background transitions (currently only 4 color gradients are used, but more will be added in a future update). Also might have fixed bug where the counter would count out of control after the wallpaper is resumed.
