A script that downloads a wallpaper from Google's Earth View. Inspired by Muzei's Earth View addon on Android.
This python script downloads a wallpaper from Google's Earth View service to $HOME/Pictures/earth-view.jpg
. Just set this image as your wallpaper with your favorite tool. The only dependency is Python 3.

make install
creates a directory $HOME/.earth-view-wallpaper
, copies systemd user service and timer to $HOME/.config/systemd/user/
and enables the timer for user. Script executes 10 minutes after boot and once every hour onwards.
make remove
