Simple wallpaper daemon for i3.
Supports multiple screens and custom image per workspace.
i3 window manager - https://i3wm.org
feh image viewer swiss army knife - https://github.com/derf/feh
The i3msg.py script included in this repository is adapted from
i3msg-python - https://github.com/Ceryn/i3msg-python
- Put the files somewhere.
- [optional] If you have i3msg-python and would like to use the upstream source you may discard
i3msg.py. Be advised the upstream source will not run on Python 3.
Bash it:
./i3wpd.py directory filetype
If directory doesn't exist i3wpd will attempt to load images from the calling directory.
To see more options execute
./i3wpd.py
Here's a screenshot of the default setup showing workspace 2 and 7:
Make a directory with images named like the desktops. For applicable formats see man feh(1).
By default, i3 workspaces are named 1, 2, 3 ... 10. Consult your i3/config.
The daemon will die silently if i3 is terminated or reloaded.
Included in this repository are NASA/JAXA images of the solar system. Try
./i3wpd.py "--bg-fill --bg black" solar .jpg
- Respawn is not implemented.
Launching from(WFM)i3/configis untested.- I actually don't know Python.
- Probably other stuff too.
Contributions are welcome.
