Bugs

• Pixelation value isn't reobtained when refresh button is clicked
  • Temporary fix: switch wallpapers to see your new pixelation value

Ideas

• Once I get this project all fancy and working properly, repeat but with random Google Maps streetviews. Then you can end up with views like this and this as your wallpaper.
• Look into seeing if the link can be retrieved and saved to a WP Engine property, at least until the creator is able to design a workaround for allowing me to save the image directly to the user's system.
• Make the refresh button draggable and the position (possibly) persistent.
  • Add a toggle for whether to display the button, and make the color customizable. Theme color?
• Make the theme color be picked from the random image automatically.
• Add the option to choose the resolution of the images retrieved, ex. 4K vs 1920x1080.
  • Add several other API options, such as images from a key word.
• Option to refresh the wallpaper every x amount of time.
