How It Works
It detects your DE or WM, gets wallpapers from Unsplash and sets them using either your choice of wallpaper setter or by nitrogen. Not enough? It can also change your theme based on the wallpapers that it gets, thanks to pywal.
Installation
- It is available in Pypi
pip3 install QuickWall- Available in AUR here
yay -S quickwallNOTE: The directory is changed from
~/.QuickWallto~/.cache/QuickWall. Early users can use--migrateoption to move their data.
OR
- Run the following command in the root directory to install QuickWall.
python setup.py installNOTE: If you get permission denied error, run the above command with sudo.
