Fluent New Tab DevLog 023

I originally though coding with Vite is harder, now I think it’s easier because you don’t have to put a semicolon (;) after every line in the javascript, and there’s the html, which is inside the javascript, so that’s nice.

New features added

• Ability to upload and use your own wallpaper
• A button to remove your own custom wallpaper
• Icon for the remove custom wallpaper button
• Enabling APOD Wallpaper overrides custom wallpaper, and you cannot use your current custom wallpaper unless you disable APOD Wallpaper, until then you can select a new custom wallpaper to use, and that one overrides the APOD.

Fixes

• Fixed the long loading time for the wallpaper
• Fixed some logic issues with the wallpaper (I did a silly mistake where I referenced the wallpaper in multiple places using multiple paths, somewhere I used “./walls/wall1.jpg”, which is correct, but somewhere I used “./assets/walls/wall1.jpg” which is wrong and led to the blank screen issue.

Current issues/bugs

• Animation from APOD/Default Wallpaper to custom wallpaper is the same as Default/Custom wallpaper to APOD, but the animation from Custom Wallpaper to default is different, but I might keep this one as a feature, just to distinguish between default and custom.
