DynamicPaper

Dynamic, time based wallpapers inspired by Mac OS Mojave for Linux

The project is currently WIP.

Progress:

• Write initial program that does the job using Mojave's wallpapers.
• Close subprocess (As of right now it becomes defunct).
• Add configuration file to load from that.
• Add arguments and reduce hardcoded variables.
• Add support for additional WM | environments.
• Replace geolocation api.

Current Issue(s):

• Uses IP to find time and geolocation. User can specify location in config. By default IP is used.
• Uses GeoNames api, requires account but is free.

2. feh

Environment

3. Clone the repo.

5. Run One(1) of the two:

Pro Tip

1. In case you don't want to use IP, add your location in the config file.

2. If you still want to use it, you can by installing nitrogen and then following the above steps.

3. In case you want to download the wallpapers manually, then download them to some directory and update WALL_DIR in the config file. These are some places you can get the wallpapers from : https://files.rb.gd/mojave_dynamic.zip | https://drive.google.com/open?id=1UCR5ikwGQh3rLbPbxc4r1xTaiIbGG1Lf
