# Shibyt 

Shibby free Tidbyt for lofi MacOS backgrounds 

![sample of the desktop background](./sample.webp).

## What

Scripts to generate a regularly-updating lofi MacOS background 

using Tidbyt APIs to reproduce the experience and aesthetic

of odd, constrained APIs and hardware.

> Mac-only, but it is probably easy to update the script to work for Linux and Windows

## Why

Constraints and lack of utility and quality can be freeing.

## set up

- [Install the `px` library](https://tidbyt.dev/docs/build/installing-pixlet)

- `cd $PATH_TO_THIS_REPO && cp config.sample.sh config.sh` and edit keys

- update the absolute paths in script.sh

- `sudo crontab -e $(whoami)` and paste and edit `*/1 * * * * $ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_SCRIPT.SH_GOES_HERE`

## try it out

`./script.sh && open ./one.webp`, but use the crontab stuff in the "config" section above to auto-update

## lint

pixlet lint main.star --fix
