Wallpaper Change Script: Gnome 3

May 16, 2012 - Programming

One of the most aggravating things when I switched to Linux Mint 12 from Mint 10 was that it seemed to offer a step backwards for a lot of functionality. I was using a program called “Desktop Drapes” to periodically cycle my wallpaper, but it no longer worked in Gnome 3. (there were some supposed plugins to fix this but they didn’t work). I tried a few others, but they universally failed.

 

So I ended up writing a python script to do the job:

 

The script is designed to be used by adding a like to crontab.

Have something to say about this post? Comment!

So this is the background changer script you’ve been talking about earlier? Interesting.
