Multi-monitor wallpaper utilities

This cluster comprises desktop utilities for managing wallpapers, with features like time-of-day switching, multi-monitor spanning, per-display selection, and dynamic rotation. The dated entry history (11 entries from 2019-2026) shows a sporadic, single-entry-per-month pattern with no clear trajectory. Traction is led by macos-dynamic-wallpaper, the only member with any star activity (1 star).

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
