Ever felt like your desktop wallpaper was just too static? Bored of seeing the same image day in, day out? Well, I certainly did. Inspired by the dynamic wallpaper feature I adored in AwesomeWM, I decided to inject some of that magic into my Openbox setup. Thus, Wallchanger was born - a Python script with a simple mission: to make your desktop more lively and, frankly, more fun!
Imagine this: you’re sipping your morning coffee, and your desktop greets you with a bright, sunny landscape. Fast forward to lunch, and it’s a vibrant, bustling cityscape. By nightfall, a calm, starlit sky wraps up your day. That’s the kind of desktop environment I dreamed of, and with Wallchanger, it’s now a reality for anyone looking for a bit more desktop delight.
For those ready to break free from the monotony of a single wallpaper, you can find Wallchanger on GitHub: Wallchanger on GitHub. It’s all about bringing a touch of whimsy and personalization to your computing space.
