#+title: Pick Random Wallpaper
#+options: toc:nil num:nil
A simple script that searches through any number of image files and picks one at random to set as the current wallpaper.
This script also tells [[https://herbstluftwm.org/][herbstluftwm]] what wallpaper it picked so that other scripts can work off of that.
* Requirements
This script requires [[https://scsh.net/][scsh]], [[https://www.gnu.org/software/findutils/][findutils]], [[https://www.x.org/wiki/][xwininfo]], [[https://feh.finalrewind.org/][feh]], and [[https://herbstluftwm.org/][herbstluftwm]].
* Installation
Put the =pick-random-wallpaper= script anywhere in your =$PATH=.
* Usage
Call the =pick-random-wallpaper= script without any arguments. It assumes that wallpapers are stored in =$HOME/pictures/wallpaper= under the resolution that they are for. It also looks at =$HOME/pictures/wallpaper/patterns/= for any tiled patterns. The hierarchy might look like:
: ~/pictures/wallpaper/
: |- 1024x768
: | \- a.jpg
: |- 5120x1440
: | |- b.png
: | \- sonic.jpg
: \- patterns
: \- sandstone.png
