wally

It is a command line utility to download a random wallpaper from the internet and set it as the desktop background.

Dependencies

Wally requires the following tools to be installed:

  1. feh: It is used to set the wallpaper
  2. curl: It is used to make HTTP requests
  3. jq: It is used for parsing json

These utilities are generally available in the default distro-repositories

Wally can be used to change the wallpaper at fixed intervals, and this can be achieved using a cron job. To create a cron job, type

$ crontab -e

This will open crontab file with your default editor. In this file, add:

@hourly /path/to/wally
