   A modern wallpaper companion for Linux desktops

## Overview

**Canvaz** is a lightweight, GTK-based wallpaper manager built with Python for Linux desktops.  

Inspired by tools like Nitrogen but architected from scratch, Canvaz goes further:

- Set wallpapers effortlessly

- Fetch stunning images from online sources

- Rotate wallpapers automatically (daily or on demand)

- Manage your local wallpaper library with ease

It’s **not a fork** — this is a fresh and evolving project focused on giving users control and customization without clutter.

---

## Features

- **Fast local wallpaper setting** for X11 and (in the future) Wayland

- **Time-based wallpaper rotation** (e.g., change every day at midnight)

- **Online wallpaper fetching** from APIs like Unsplash or Reddit

- **Simple, native GTK UI** with responsive layout

- **Linux-only by design**, avoiding cross-platform complexity

- **Written in Python**, modular and easy to hack on
