Run the animated_background.py script.
It will scrape Reddit's sfw-porn sites (/r/spaceporn by default) and download the images into your home directory under a new folder called .redditbackgrounds.
It will then create an xml file in that directory containing the slideshow and automatically set it.
This has not been tested on anything except:
- Ubuntu 12.04
- Arch Linux running Gnome Shell
This script requires BeautifulSoup4 which can be installed with
pip install BeautifulSoup4
If you want to change the source, feel free to edit the script. Please keep the url set to only Reddit's SFW porn images or otherwise change the User Agent.
Feel free to contribute any additional features!
