# Dynamically change your gnome desktop wallpaper
|
|
|
|
|
|
In gnome, you can can use a XML file to have a dynamic wallpaper. It's
|
|
not so easy, and you can't just tell: use the pictures in this folder to
|
|
do so.
|
|
|
|
You can have a look to the git repository if you want:
|
|
<http://github.com/ametaireau/gnome-background-generator>
|
|
|
|
Some time ago, I've made a little python script to ease that, and you
|
|
can now use it too. It's named "gnome-background-generator", and you can
|
|
install it via pip for instance.
|
|
|
|
``` sourceCode shell
|
|
$ pip install gnome-background-generator
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then, you have just to use it this way:
|
|
|
|
``` sourceCode shell
|
|
$ gnome-background-generator -p ~/Images/walls -s
|
|
/home/alexis/Images/walls/dynamic-wallpaper.xml generated
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Here is a extract of the \`--help\`:
|
|
|
|
``` sourceCode shell
|
|
$ gnome-background-generator --help
|
|
usage: gnome-background-generator [-h] [-p PATH] [-o OUTPUT]
|
|
[-t TRANSITION_TIME] [-d DISPLAY_TIME] [-s]
|
|
[-b]
|
|
|
|
A simple command line tool to generate an XML file to use for gnome
|
|
wallpapers, to have dynamic walls
|
|
|
|
optional arguments:
|
|
-h, --help show this help message and exit
|
|
-p PATH, --path PATH Path to look for the pictures. If no output is
|
|
specified, will be used too for outputing the dynamic-
|
|
wallpaper.xml file. Default value is the current
|
|
directory (.)
|
|
-o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
|
|
Output filename. If no filename is specified, a
|
|
dynamic-wallpaper.xml file will be generated in the
|
|
path containing the pictures. You can also use "-" to
|
|
display the xml in the stdout.
|
|
-t TRANSITION_TIME, --transition-time TRANSITION_TIME
|
|
Time (in seconds) transitions must last (default value
|
|
is 2 seconds)
|
|
-d DISPLAY_TIME, --display-time DISPLAY_TIME
|
|
Time (in seconds) a picture must be displayed. Default
|
|
value is 900 (15mn)
|
|
-s, --set-background '''try to set the background using gnome-appearance-
|
|
properties
|
|
-b, --debug
|
|
```
