Wally a desktop wallpaper changer

[woodsmoke]

wally is a cool little C app that will put whatever images you want onto your desktop and rotate them.

It will do stuff from various online places and also folders on the computer.

It runs in terminal but can also be run at startup.

It is in the repos and does work with Kubuntu, it runs only when the timer activates it to change the paper and runs ok when one is doing "something else" on the computer.

Here is the developer's site:

Re: Wally a desktop wallpaper changer

Unfortunately, wally is not doing much on my desktop. It did seem to change the wallpaper sometimes, but then stopped doing so. If I right-clicked on the sys-tray plasmoid and asked it to change, it didn't do anything. I saw the CPU % spike up, but the wallpaper didn't change. Then I installed v 2.4 from the deb on the Becruz site, but it made my desktop crash (the developer warns about this).

I'm trying to find a replacement for webilder (GNOME-only), and wally seemed perfect.

Hi
I didn't use it that much, but when I did, it seemed to work ok, and I'm sorry that your results were disappointing.
