# lgi-wallpaper

Small, simple app built with Lua and GTK to set the desktop wallpaper.

Depends on several weird things:

 * [LGI](https://github.com/pavouk/lgi)

 * [luash](https://github.com/folknor/luash) (or the original)

 * [luv](https://github.com/luvit/luv) (libunique bindings for lua)

 * GTK3, Gio, GLib, and obviously gobject-introspection

 * [libgnome-desktop](https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-desktop/)

 * ImageMagicks `identify` and `convert` commands

 * [wmctrl](http://tripie.sweb.cz/utils/wmctrl/) (because Gdk over LGI crashes too much)

It uses libgnome-desktop and its thumbnailer service behind the scenes, and so far only shows JPEG and PNG images.

## XFCE4

So far, the app only works for XFCE4, using `xfconf-query` via luash.

## Awesomewm

Eventually, this will support awesomewm.

## Gnome Shell

Eventually, this will support gnome-shell, because it's just very easy to add. Not because anyone will ever use it.
