This defaults to "true". This enables support for a systray that has the features to re-set your wallpaper (Mostly useful if feh shits itself or if you want to set the correct wallpaper for a specific time of day after your device was suspended) without rerolling the wallpaper set used, a button to reroll and then re-set the wallpaper, as well as a Quit button. Disable this to save a very tiny amount of memory.

## TOML Dictionaries ## TOML Dictionaries
First of all, the config file is structured via different TOML dictionaries. There are two TOML dictionaries: general and changing<sub>times</sub> that must be present in every config. Aside from that, further dictionaries are needed depending on how wallman is configured. You need to create a dictionary with the name of each wallpaper set defined in the used<sub>sets</sub> list (more on that later). You should probably just configure wallman by editing the sample config as it is by far the easiest way to do it. First of all, the config file is structured via different TOML dictionaries.
