wallpaper not changing with cron - workaround possible

Hi,
first of all - i love this project, good work, thanks a lot!

Issue:
a single cron job only changes the terminal color based on the desired background-wallpaper, a second cron is required to change the background-wallpaper

So in other words - if i only have one single cronjob with -p and -s, only the background-color of my terminal gets changed.
Therefore i changed the first job and removed -p switch, and added a second job with both -p and -s

cron:

# m h  dom mon dow   command
0 * * * * env PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin DISPLAY=:1 DESKTOP_SESSION=pop DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus" /usr/bin/dwall -s mountains
0 * * * * env PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin DISPLAY=:1 DESKTOP_SESSION=pop DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus" /usr/bin/dwall -p -s mountains

Hi @tomturbu,
it appears that @adi1090x has abandoned this project (the last commit was in January), but I have continued development in my fork Dynamic Wallpaper Improved. Feel free to open your issue there so I can take a look at it!
