brickmasterj freshman Written 9 months 2 weeks ago I've seen a few apps that can switch wallpapers from Wallbase, but they're all for Windows (7) or Mobile use... So the question is simple: Is there any app for Linux? Or are there any apps that can be ported to say for the sake of example Qt4 (C++) or Phyton? quote enormhi OMG WTF HAX! Written 9 months 2 weeks ago There is no app as of yet. There might be in the future when demand grows. quote amahran elite spammer Written 9 months 2 weeks ago — enormhi wrote: There is no app as of yet. There might be in the future when demand grows. There probably will never be due to server bandwidth issues. quote brickmasterj freshman Written 9 months 2 weeks ago — amahran wrote: — enormhi wrote: There is no app as of yet.

Btw, I know a little bit about Qt4 so maybe I'll have a look what I can do (no promisses, but I've nothing else to do right now... ) quote amahran elite spammer Written 9 months 2 weeks ago — brickmasterj wrote: — amahran wrote: — enormhi wrote: There is no app as of yet.

Anyways, if you think you can make one, talk to Yotoon about it, and if he approves of it, go ahead and make one. Godspeed. quote brickmasterj freshman Written 9 months 2 weeks ago — amahran wrote: — brickmasterj wrote: — amahran wrote: — enormhi wrote: There is no app as of yet.

Sure, thanks for tip! quote xfctr freshman Written 9 months 1 week ago Variety Wallpaper Changer - for Ubuntu 12.04 and newer, and it will probably run on other Ubuntu derivatives (e.g. Mint) - but I haven't yet tested. It is a new application that I've been working on during the past 2-3 months and I think it is shaping as one of the best wallpaper changers for Linux. Response from users so far has been vastly positive. Supports Wallbase.cc as an image source. Video demo Screenshots Project page and source-code Installation (installs in /opt): sudo add-apt-repository ppa:peterlevi/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install variety Or simply grab the latest deb from here It should fairly soon appear in Ubuntu Software Center as well, I'm waiting for the review process to finish. The application is a contestant in the Ubuntu App Showdown, which hasn't yet completed - if you give it a try and like it, please do make the effort to vote for it in Ubuntu Software Center once it appears there (I'll write an update here when it appears). quote slaci advanced writer Written 9 months 1 week ago Last edited by slaci 9 months 1 week ago There's also Wallch, an other wallpaper changer for Ubuntu, but maybe not as good as the Variety. http://wall-changer.sourceforge.net/ quote slaci advanced writer Written 9 months 1 week ago Oh, and the Ubuntu App Showdown winners were announced: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/08/ubuntu-app-showdown-winners-announced quote xfctr freshman Written 9 months 1 week ago — slaci wrote: Oh, and the Ubuntu App Showdown winners were announced: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/08/ubuntu-app-showdown-winners-announced Yes, but there is a second phase during which the community votes in the Software Center and 3 more applications will win some prizes. I still think Variety has its chances if more people try it out. This phase hasn't yet started - I suppose they first have to include all the apps in the software center. Unfortunately there is not much information as to when this will happen... quote slaci advanced writer Written 9 months 1 week ago Here's an other wallchanger, works fine for me: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/08/use-wallpaper-clocks-live-earth.html sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fioan89/slidewall sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install slidewall quote
