TODOs:

• add settings UI
• should be more connected with display output settings (one over all/one for one)
• file selection: cmd parameter / selected file / first background*.html in working directory / error message
• add API to HTML (for calling cmd / obtaining system informations / ...) - can be just named pipe li-background-pipe
• add more examples (video, scheduling, web resources, ...)
• disable zoom, disable text selection, disable mouse actions (as settings options or in html ~ css pointer-events: none;)
• performance optimalizations (stop rendering when desktop not shown, option to pre-render HTML to bitmap)
• fix hover bug when pointer leaves window
