# Reddit Lockscreen
Sets images fetched on reddit as lockscreen.
## Description
This script will automatically download a new lockscreen from reddit every time you log in.
It will require **admin rights** in order to work.
Remember, these images are pulled directly from reddit, so if you like your lockcreen **upvote the post** and give credit where it is due.
(You can find the link to the post in the [logfile](####`-showlog`).
This script was inspired by stibinator's [The Great Dismal](https://github.com/stibinator/GreatDismal).

2. Execute in an elevated instance of `Windows PowerShell`: `Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted`
3. Execute in an elevated instance of `Windows PowerShell`:
```powershell
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\installer.ps1
```
Then follow instructions.
### Detailed Installation Guide
If you have never used `PowerShell`, this is for you.
First Clone the repo or download archive from [releases](https://github.com/Garfield1002/redditPic/releases).
In the `Search Bar`, type in `PowerShell` and click on `Run As Administrator`.
Once in `PowerShell`, run `Set-Location "C:\Users\ ...\Downloads\reddit pics\"` (the path to your download)
Now run `powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\installer.ps1`
From there on, simply follow instructions.
## Usage
You can run the utility at any given time to try and find a new background.
In `Windows PowerShell`:
```powershell
RedditLockscreen [-help] [-install] [-showpic] [-showlog] [-config] [-uninstall] [[-subreddit] [-sort] [-nsfw]]
```
In `Command Prompt`:
```bat
powershell RedditLockscreen [-help] [-install] [-showpic] [-showlog] [-config] [-list] [-add] [-remove] [-uninstall] [[-subreddit] [-sort] [-nsfw]]
```
Naturally, both need admin rights.
