I wrote a simple wallpaper function: fnd_wall_fnc(){ cd ~/Pictures/wallpapers-master/ f_bg=`find -maxdepth 5 -type f | shuf -n 1` feh --bg-scale $f_bg } It might be crude, but it works.
I'm more or less new to linux in general, but I'm happy with using feh like this: while true; do for f in ~/Pictures/Backgrounds/*; do feh --bg-fill --no-fehbg "$f" sleep 1800 done done I just launch that from my bspwmrc. I have never heard of the shuf command, I might give that a try next.

I find using sxiv's marking capability useful in scripts: You can mark a bunch of files, and with the -o command you can send the filenames to stdout. These names can be piped into a script to remove/move the image files. I'm trying to figure other useful things you can do with the marking capability.
Man please .... make more videos like that. you and Distrotube are very good on that....and make a colab with him... Good teachers should work together
My problem with pywal is that sometimes it selects colors that are too similar. Sometimes there is no way around it because the image is pretty monochromatic to begin with but there are pictures that seem pretty colorful yet suffer from the same problem.
I have a shortcut mapped to running `sxiv -art $HOME/Pictures` to browse all my pictures in sxiv. Important to note here are the r and t flags: -r automatically searches the given directories recursively for images and -t opens sxiv directly in thumbnail mode. From there I can ofc run all my keyhandlers like for setting my wallpaper with setroot or rotating them etc
There's no "just" using feh. feh is an image-viewer that also can add backgrounds. xwallpaper has wallpaper settings as its main function. You can see the other features it adds. Since I use sxiv (which is quite a bit better than feh), there's no reason for me to have another image viewer installed. I suppose if I were still using feh, I might just keep using it for wallpapers though.

@jujé >xwallpaper: 20kB >feh: 172 kB Seems virgin to me, that's mostly because feh also works as an image viewer. Sxiv on the other hand weights 40kB and works as an image viewer. If you stay because of the randomize option just shuffle them with "shuf" and if necesary use grep
And now is the challenge: How to get currently set x11 wallpaper? I would like to set up different wallpaper per "output" with two xwallpaper commands, but for this I would have to find out which wallpaper is set on the other screen? The xwallpaper will only set all screens at once, so I need previous file location or a way to get the currently set x11 wallpaper. Any ideas?
You're thinking of xsetroot. setroot can do many more things like also flip wallpapers, make them greyscale, choose a focus point on the image when zooming etc. And all that while still being a smaller install than xwallpaper
Noob here. Just a question: On setbg, when you pass a directory as an argument, the script retrieves a random image of such directory and moves (I think it does at least?) it to ~/.config/wall.png. What if the selected image is a .jpg/.jpeg? It would rename it as wall.png. Shouldn't this cause a problem because it isn't really being converted to .png format, but only renamed with a .png extension?
Good question. I think `xwallpaper` doesn't care about the extension and checks which image format it is by using `file` or a similar utility that recognizes file type by reading the contents. The only problem I can see is the inconsistency you speak of, which may fool yourself into thinking that's a png image, but it's not. It's better to rename to somethink like "wall.image" or simply "wall".
Im really late to your comment, but the file extension doesn't matter to well written programs, since they will check the magic number of the file (first few bytes) to determine the file format. I have my wallpaper set as ~/.config/wallpaper, i could even name it wallpaper.exe and it would still work.

In JWM, before I realized wallpapers were bloat, I was just using nitrogen (setting the wallpaper through nitrogen in the terminal, then running nitrogen --restore when I was starting jwm). I wasn't into anything fancy, like switching wallpapers. A quick look at the dependencies and size, nitrogen depends on {gtkmm, hicolor-icon-theme and librsvg} and has ~460 KiB. If you have sxiv, you already have hicolor-icon-theme and if you have imagemagick, you probably already have the optional libsrsvg. I think nitrogen may have a GUI for browsing wallpapers, though I never used it. Xwallpaper on the other hand depends on {pixman, libpng, libxpm, xcb-util, xcb-util-image, libjpeg-turbo, libseccomp and libseccomp.so=2-64} and has ~44 KiB in size. There must be some other programs that have at least a few of those packages as dependencies. The reason I don't really like wallpapers is because the only time I see them is basically only when I startx and maybe when switching workspaces. I keep my applications either maximized, or occupying the whole screen, no pixel lost (except the small title bar and window borders). I guess I could put a cronjob in place to change the wallpaper every now and again with a random one inside a folder, but I probably wouldn't notice, because I can't see my workspace. And I don't like transparency effects. Sure, they look cool in UNIX PR on, but when you want to get things done, they are distracting, especially if they change.

The reason I don't really like wallpapers is because the only time I see them is basically only when I startx and maybe when switching workspaces. I keep my applications either maximized, or occupying the whole screen, no pixel lost (except the small title bar and window borders). I guess I could put a cronjob in place to change the wallpaper every now and again with a random one inside a folder, but I probably wouldn't notice, because I can't see my workspace. And I don't like transparency effects. Sure, they look cool in UNIX PR on, but when you want to get things done, they are distracting, especially if they change.
