Better wallpaper pause algorithm

[MatrixTurtle269]

I've recently noticed that the wallpapers pause only when you're focused on a fullscreen application, and not when there just is a fullscreen application running. So when I'm using a windowed application on top of a fullscreen one, the wallpaper keeps running although I can't see it at all. I have a pretty decent pc so this doesn't cause much of a problem, but it's just a little uncomfortable to know that lively is just eating up unnecessary resources. It would be better if lively just detects if there is a fullscreen window on the screen and pauses the wallpaper based on that.

It is hinted in the description, foreground algorithm checks the foreground app and since there can only be one foreground app at one time this is its limitation..
All process algorithm is meant to resolve this, Its not implemented yet currently.
For the time being you can set Application Focused -> Pause

Ok, thanks!

I just had an idea, I am going to keep track of last foreground program that was fullscreen and check to see if its still fullscreen before proceeding with the new foreground program checks.

Its simple enough, so should not affect performance much.
