Hi!

I want to use this little script tu change the desktop wallpaper every XX minutes...

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
WALLPAPERS=/home/luciano/pathtopicturedirectoriesroot
TIME=1m
while [ true ];
do
    feh --bg-scale "$(find $WALLPAPERS -name *.jpg -o -name '*.JPG' | shuf -n 1)" && sleep $TIME
done &


but I just see the pictures in the conky background...

there is no way to set a "none" background in kde, or something similar?

or maybe another way to achieve the same behavior?

(I know about the slider pictures in background options, but I want to set up just 1 directory... not hundreds, and always changing...)


best regards, and sorry for the bad english!

At this time it is the position of the Plasma developers that applications which depend upon controlling the root X window in order to draw a wallpaper, etc. are not supported.

You may find that using the Plasma Slideshow function will work to replace it.

Yay, I know... but it is tedious to add to much directories to that setup (and you will need to add new ones later too)

thanks for the info, I will add a feature suggestion... (recursive search of images?)

That would be quite a good idea..
