autobg
Python script to automatically pick a new wallpaper from a folder every so often. Made for GNOME+systemd systems.
Usage
Start by cloning the repo.
Then, edit the files to your desired settings. The default setting is to change the wallpaper every two minutes, but you may want it to be more or less frequent. To change this, edit the "OnUnitActiveSec" field in autobg.timer and enter the number of seconds.
By default, the script picks a random wallpaper from ~/Pictures/Wallpapers. If you'd like it to pick from a different folder, edit the path in autobg.
You can then run the shell script setup.sh. It will copy the script to ~/.local/bin and install the files needed by systemd to run it periodically.
If you'd like to manually pick a new random wallpaper (without waiting for the timer), run autobg directly.
