About

This is a simple tool written in bash to automatically change the desktop background. Because of extension scripts you don't need to have a big local wallpaper repository. Just use the remote URL which contains all wallpapers and choose the correct image grabber.

Installation

1. clone / copy the content in a desired folder (e.g. /home/<user>/Tools/)
2. Setup you first initial script at the bottom end of wChanger.sh

• set imgPath variable (e.g. /home/<user>/Tools/wChanger)
• set imgSrc equal to the link from which the wallpaper should be retrieved from
• choose image grab extenstion (e.g. grabur.sh)
• call downloadSource (not needed for local image repository)
• finally call setWallpaper which will replace the current wallpaper

3. Setup a crontab rule

$> crontab -e
   e.g.: 59 * * * * /home/<user>/Tools/wChanger/wChanger.sh
