## Features

- uses dmenu to show options

   - set random wallpaper

   - favorite wallpapers for easier access

   - fuzy search through wallpapers

   - open current wallpaper in image viewer

   - open current wallpaper in file manager

   - trash the current wallpaper

- the main feature is to only wallpaper that are larger than a certain [dimension](https://github.com/Rdkang/chinguRandomWallpaper/blob/main/config.sh?#L6)

- can also set the wallpaper in gnome

## Usage

can use a program such as [xbindkeys](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xbindkeys) or [sxhkd](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Sxhkd)(simple x hot keydaemon) to run this script

E.g for *sxhkd*.

```bash

alt + w

"~/Documents/chinguRandomWallpaper/randomWallpaper.sh"

alt + shift + w

"~/Documents/chinguRandomWallpaper/randomWallpaper.sh random"

```

### wallpaper at boot

to have the wallpaper be set after booting add `{path to script}/randomWallpaper.sh reapply` to your `.xinitrc`

## Installation

1. clone or download the files

   `$ git clone https://github.com/Rdkang/chinguRandomWallpaper.git`

2. run the file called **randomWallpaper.sh**

   `$ ./randomWallpaper.sh`

3. thats it! :)

#### Configuration

edit the [config.sh](https://github.com/Rdkang/chinguRandomWallpaper/blob/main/config.sh) file

## Requirements

- any **linux** distro

- xwallpaper

- imagemagick

- [fd](https://github.com/sharkdp/fd)

- [rofi](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/rofi) or [dmenu](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/dmenu)

- [trash-cli](https://github.com/andreafrancia/trash-cli) (optional)

## Alternatives

I have now realised can use [feh](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Feh), but miss out on one feature from this program.

in this program can specify the minium size of a picture

## To Do

- [ ] check to see if dmenu installed or rofi

- [x] be able to use the fuzzy through dmenu
