OBRW - OpenBoxRandomWallpaper

OBRW is a tool to set wallpapers randomly for the window manager openbox. It's started as my 'first C-language-project' and helped me to pass my exams.

But why C and not another bash-script or maybe python?

Because openbox is in C.

ATM it's not really perfect, and I'm still not a C-programmer, but the tool is working for years in my environments and I have some fun.

My most used commands are implemented via make.

Tests and analysis

I test the code with:

• some own implemented unit-tests (atm no framework)
• dynamic/static code analysis frameworks:
  • cppcheck
  • valgrind

Externals

OBRW depends on:

• feh a fast and light lmlib2-based image viewer

Example resources

• Config file Copy the file to your home-dir (spot the dot!) and adapt the wallpaper dir. You can use the following command cp resources/obrw.conf ~/.obrw.conf.

Weblinks

• CHANGELOG

• A good choice to start with openbox is the project page or the debian-wiki:

  • Openbox project
  • wiki.debian.org
  • feh
