After some troubleshooting
I managed to fix this by changing the Mojave wallpaper into static and not dynamic. Some bug probably.
Currently switched back to dynamic and all seems to be working fine again after the initial hiccup.
I'm planning to update to 0.5.7 once its released, just a little worried about all the changes in config.plist with each update. I've seen a bunch of stuff get removed/renamed etc and I worry that if I do it manually I might end up breaking something so I'll probably grab the config.plist from the 0.5.7 release and reapply my settings there.
Once again, thank you for your assistance
