🥷 Wallpy Sensei

A dynamic wallpaper tool that allows you to change wallpapers based on the time of the day. The idea for this little weekend project came after I came across this wallpaper pack. You can use it to change your wallpapers 24/7 and even add your own custom wallmaps. Try it!

Installation and Setup

Common steps for all operating systems,

1. Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/siphyshu/wallpy-sensei.git
2. Move into the directory cd ./wallpy-sensei
3. Run the setup.py script python3 ./setup.py "[wallpack_name]" (wallpack_name from ./wallpaper-packs dir)

Windows

1. Open "Task Scheduler" by searching in the start menu
2. Click on "Create Task" from the Actions menu on the right
3. Give it a suitable name such as "Wallpy Sensei Task" and Configure for [Windows 10]
4. Add two triggers: [On Startup], [On a schedule, repeat every 5 minutes indefinitely]
5. Add an action: [Start a program], Point it to the ./wallpy-sensei.py script
6. Naviagate to Conditions tab and uncheck "Start the task only if the computer is on AC power"

MacOS & Linux

The logic that tells the OS to periodically check the schedule and change the wallpaper isn't implemented yet. I will probably get to it soon but until I do so, feel free to contribute to the project by opening a pull request.

To-Do

• Update README.md
• Add map.json for initial wallpacks
• Write "Adding Wallpacks" section for README.md
• Add macOS and Linux compatibility
• Improve time-state logic for wallmaps
