New Plugin: Wallpaper Changer

[ImNotVarun]

Change Wallpaper with the help of Pexel Api

Is there a specific reason that you've chosen to not use the builtin settings system?

I used a text file for storing the API key to keep it simple. If using the built-in settings system is preferred, I can update it

If you don't have a specific reason to use a different method, could you please switch to the builtin settings system?

Using the builtin settings system would also allow the user to set the API key through your plugin's settings menu, which aligns with how the rest of the plugins work.

That seems to be the correct directory, however I still think it would be best to use the builtin settings system.

In case you are unaware how to use the builtin settings system, see the docs for how to define the settings, and for getting them in your code, iirc you can use self.rpc_request["settings"] in your query method to get a dict containing the settings that have been sent with the request.

I've updated the plugin to use the built-in settings system as suggested using flox. The API key is now stored within Flow Launcher's settings system instead of a text file

[cibere]

I appreciate you switching your storage method to use flow's settings system, however I also wanted you to use the SettingsTemplate.yaml file that lets you customize the plugin's settings interface, so that it aligns with how the other plugins work.

You can keep your current code, I'm just asking for the addition of that file

[ImNotVarun]

Done , added the SettingsTemplate.yaml file
