I switch backgrounds on my two 1600x1200 every 2 minutes with crontab. The
reason is the abount of backgrounds I have.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] : find ~/wallpaper/ -name "*.jpg"|wc -l
27124
[EMAIL PROTECTED] : du -sh ~/wallpaper/
3.3G /home/houghi/wallpaper/
I use the following (selfmade and ugly) script:
#!/bin/bash
#
DIR=/home/houghi/wallpaper
for COUNT in `seq 0 1`
do
LINES=$((`wc -l < $DIR/wallpapers.txt`))
if [ $LINES -eq "0" ]
then
find $DIR|grep jpg > $DIR/wallpapers.txt
LINES=$((`wc -l < $DIR/wallpapers.txt`))
rm $DIR/latest.txt
touch $DIR/latest.txt
fi
FILE=`head -$((($RANDOM * 32678 +$RANDOM) % $LINES + 1)) \
$DIR/wallpapers.txt|tail -1`
grep $FILE -v $DIR/wallpapers.txt > $DIR/wallpapers.txt.bak
mv $DIR/wallpapers.txt.bak $DIR/wallpapers.txt
FILE=`echo $FILE|awk -F: '{print $NF}'`
DISPLAY=:0.${COUNT} /usr/X11R6/bin/wmsetbg -a $FILE
echo "${COUNT} $FILE" >> $DIR/latest.txt
done
I then also have a `tail -f ~/wallpaper/latest.txt` running in a
semitransparent window, so I can see what the last 4 (2 for each screen)
wterm -g 128x19 -tr -bg red -fg yellow -sh +sb
The most difficult part however is sorting all these files. :-)
