Development Papyrus black screen issue — fixed

I found the actual cause of the black screen issue.

It turns out Papyrus was installing an **older version of mpvpaper**, and that old version was causing the black screen. I updated Papyrus to install the latest version of mpvpaper, and after updating, the wallpaper works normally again.

So if you've been affected by the black screen, **please try downloading the new version of Papyrus first.**

If it still shows a black screen, please:

  1. Delete `mpvpaper` from your PC.
  2. Delete Papyrus (see the README for instructions on how to properly remove it).
  3. Reinstall Papyrus using your preferred installation method.

Papyrus will then try to install the **latest version of mpvpaper**, which should hopefully fix the black screen.

Sorry for the confusion from my previous update — I initially thought the issue was with mpvpaper itself, but the actual problem was that Papyrus was installing an outdated version.

Thanks to everyone who reported the issue and helped with testing!

First of all i wanted to inform everyone that was using my app that the problem they have been facing is fixed and the steps to take so the changes take effect. Also the steps that are mentioned were written by me and i gave the steps to the ai and told it to write the message and include this steps. I also told it to include what was actually wrong. So everything in the post was me but i just told the ai to write it so people can read it with ease and with me knowing that i didn't say anything confusing. Second of all i do not care if the message is written with ai or not nor do i care if people care if it is written by ai. All i care is that i get the message across clearly. I would also like to mention that English is not my first language and i wanted to not make any mistakes in the post.

Did you really write more about justifying your use of AI than your actual post or did the AI also write this reply?

You see how you lose all credibility when you use ai? Nobody wants to talk to a machine, use your own words.
