DynamicWalls: The gnome wallpaper slider
... To Change the wallpaper consonantly in given time as a slidshow ...
#
## 🧩 Introduction
I started this project because Ubuntu did not have a built-in wallpaper slider. This tool aims to fill that gap by providing an easy-to-use solution for automatically changing wallpapers at specified intervals.
🌟 **Used and teated in Ubuntu 24.04.**
## 🔧 Features
- 🖼️ Automatically change the wallpaper at specified intervals
- 📷 Supports multiple image formats
- ⚡ Lightweight and easy to use
## 🧑🔧 Installation
1. 📥 Clone the repository:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/DynamicWalls-The-gnome-wallpaper-slider.git
```
2. 📂 Navigate to the project directory:
```sh
cd DynamicWalls-The-gnome-wallpaper-slider
```
3. 🎨 Change the wallpaper folder link in ```change_wallpaper.sh``` accordingly:
```sh
# Directory containing wallpapers
WALLPAPER_DIR="$HOME/< Path to your cloned folder >/DynamicWalls-The-gnome-wallpaper-slider/Wallpapers"
```
4. 🛠️ Test the Script: Run the script manually to ensure it works correctly with your current theme:
```sh
./change_wallpaper.sh

## 🎯 Usage 📱

```sh
crontab -e
```
2. 📝 Add the following line to the crontab file:
