ch-walls

A simple shell script to switch between wallpapers from a specified directory on Gnome

###Getting it to work### Edit the configuration section in wall.sh to set the path to the directory where the pictures for the wallpaper are present and also the interval between switches. Also, ensure line 3 in wall.sh is left blank.

Note: Do not use environment variables such as $HOME and $USER in the directory path

Run the script with

$sh wall.sh

The script runs as a cron job, so no need to add to startup.

To stop the switching, run

$sh wall.sh stop

Possible Bug fix : If the wallpaper is changing but showing wrong Wallpaper run

$gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons true

This is show correct background wallpaper.

This will fix it
