Better/custom screen saver about nymphcast

[cafehaine]

Generally for Arch Linux packages, only the name of the aur package is given, as there are a lot of ways to install those unofficial packages.
You could include in the README something like this:

For pacman based distros, some packages exist for:

• the server: nymphcast-server-git
• the sdk: nymphcast-sdk-git
• the player: nymphcast-player-git

I believe the Chromecast allows controlling the screensaver look (or at least the pictures displayed) from the client app. Something equivalent would be nice, maybe it could offer integration with a service like Unsplash for daily changing images in various categories?

The concept behind the screensaver was to have a basic (low-power) screensaver module that would periodically update the displayed image. That said, optionally displaying a clock, text (instance name?) and such is something that I had planned to add at some point in the future.

Having a way to have more wallpapers and a way to add/customise them via a client is also planned. Currently there are just the two hard-coded & included wallpapers, which was 'good enough' for testing :)

I think it'd make the most sense to keep the ScreenSaver module as a native C++ class. I'd gladly accept PRs for this, though preferably after syncing up on the requirements for the change :)

As for packages on AUR and such repositories, please do let me know about where/how to get them so that I can add these details to the README.

Thank you, I have updated the README :)
