Issue type: bug
Difficulty: 3
Estimated time: half day
Activity status: stale
Clarity: clear
Prerequisites: Node.jsmacOS
Newbie friendliness: 60
Research direction: Investigate the implementation of wallpaper.set in the repository, particularly the macOS specific code. The existing PR #103 attempted to fix the flash by avoiding setting the same path again. Review that PR to understand the approach and check if it can be improved or if there is a different root cause. Also test on Mojave to reproduce the issue.
