# Unsplash wallpaper switcher (OSX only)
This is a extremly simple script that downloads an unsplash image and sets it as a wallpaper every 15 minutes. I was done with an extra menu item or an app, I just wanted random nice images as a wallpaper on my screen(s).

4. `ctrl+x`, `y`, `enter`
### How to change unsplash theme/search?

### How to remove this script?
1. To begin, this is a bit more cumbersome. Sorry 😟
2. Use `env EDITOR=nano crontab -e` and delete the line points to `set_wallpaper.sh`.
3. `ctrl+x`, `y`, `enter`
4. `rm -rf ~/Wallpapers` (note: make sure you don't use this folder for anything else, everything inside will be deleted!)
5. That's it.
