# unphoto

Utility for setting a randomized photo to your wallpaper. Currently implemented proviers:

* Guardian - Uses picture of the day

* Local - You point to a folder on your system

## Usage

A few example usage patterns:

```

unphoto --guardian

unphoto --guardian --wallpaper

unphoto --local --local-path /home/trent/Pictures --wallpaper

```

The latter 2 will change your current wallpaper.

You may want to automate this either through a startup script or on recurring timer.

Using a systemd timer:

```bash

cat << EOF > $HOME/.config/systemd/user/unphoto.service

[Unit]

Description="Changes the wallpaper from the given folder"

Wants=unphoto.timer

[Service]

ExecStart=$HOME/go/bin/unphoto --local --local-path $HOME/Pictures/CorporateBackgrounds --wallpaper

[Install]

WantedBy=default.target

EOF

```

And the timer file to run every hour:

```bash

cat < $HOME/.config/systemd/user/unphoto.timer

[Unit]

Description=Timer for the unphoto service that changes the desktop wallpaper

Requires=unphoto.service

[Timer]

Unit=unphoto.service

OnCalendar=*-*-* *:00:00

[Install]

WantedBy=timers.target

EOF

```

After that, reload daemon

```bash

systemctl --user daemon-reload

systemctl --user list-timers

```
