The Random Wallpaper Bash Script (rwallpaper)

Set the same random wallpaper on multiple monitors without any "fancy" app. The script was successfully tested using Linux Mint 21.1 Xfce Edition, Pop!_OS, and Debian 12 with the Cinnamon and Gnome desktop environments.

How to Install

1. Clone this repository and change to its directory:

$ git clone https://github.com/tiagomiguelcs/random-wallpaper.git
$ cd random-wallpaper

2. (Optional) In the script, set the path variable to the wallpapers' directory:

path=~/Pictures/wallpapers/ 

3. Run the install script and the main script:

./install.sh && ./rwallpaper

4. In your desktop settings, set the wallpaper to the one defined in the script (e.g., ~/Pictures/twall/today.jpg)

If you are using the gnome desktop, please set the wallpaper as follows:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri-dark file:///home/[username]/Pictures/twall/today.jpg
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri file:///home/[username]/Pictures/twall/today.jpg

(Alternative) Use feh to set the wallpaper:

feh --bg-scale ~/Pictures/twall/today.jpg

5. Enjoy!
