Project Description

A Python-based program that logs keystrokes in real-time and updates the desktop wallpaper with the current text input.

The Problem (that doesn't exist)

Ever felt like your desktop needed to show your exact typing, word by word, as it happens? Probably not. But we’re solving it anyway!

The Solution (that nobody asked for)

A dynamic program that monitors keystrokes and updates the desktop wallpaper with your current typing. It resets the wallpaper when the input exceeds 534 characters, ensuring your background stays fresh!
