Styli.sh - Wallpaper switching made easy

Styli.sh is a Bash script that aims to automate the tedious process of finding new wallpapers, downloading and switching them via the configs. Styli.sh can search for specific wallpapers from unsplash or download a random image from the specified subreddits. If you have pywal it also can set automatically your terminal colors.

Requirements

This script is made to work with feh, nitrogen, XFCE, GNOME or KDE, having one of those is a requirement. If you want to use the -p flag you will have to have pywal installed.

Install

git clone https://github.com/thevinter/styli.sh
cd styli.sh
./styli.sh

Usage

# To set a random 1920x1080 background
$ ./styli.sh

# To specify a desired width or height
$ ./styli.sh -w 1080 -h 720
$ ./styli.sh -w 2560
$ ./styli.sh -h 1440

# To set a wallpaper based on a search term
$ ./styli.sh -s island
$ ./styli.sh -s "sea sunset"
$ ./styli.sh -s sea -w 1080

# To get a random wallpaper from one of the set subreddits
# NOTE: The width/height/search parameters DON'T work with reddit
$ ./styli.sh -l reddit

# To get a random wallpaper from a custom subreddit
$ ./styli.sh -r <custom_reddit>
$ ./styli.sh -r wallpaperdump

# To use the builtin feh --bg options
$ ./styli.sh -b <option>
$ ./styli.sh -b bg-scale -r widescreen-wallpaper

# To add custom feh flags
$ ./styli.sh -c <flags>
$ ./styli.sh -c --no-xinerama -r widescreen-wallpaper

# To automatically set the terminal colors
$ ./styli.sh -p

# To use nitrogen instead of feh
$ ./styli.sh -n

# To update > 1 screens using nitrogen
$ ./styli.sh -n -m <number_of_screens>

# Choose a random background from a directory
$ ./styli.sh -d /path/to/dir

KDE, GNOME & XFCE

KDE, GNOME and XFCE are natively supported without the need of feh. The script currently does not allow to scale the image. To use their built-in background managers use the appropriate flag.

# GNOME
$ ./styli.sh -g

# XFCE
$ ./styli.sh -x

# KDE
$ ./styli.sh -k

Tips And Tricks

To set a new background every time you reboot your computer add the following to your i3/config file (or any other WM config)

exec_always path/to/script/styli.sh

To change background every hour launch the following command

crontab -e

and add the following to the opened file

@hourly path/to/script/styli.sh

Custom subreddits

To manage custom subreddits just edit the subreddits file by placing there all your desired communities, one for each newline

  • Cinnamon support
  • Remove the need for flags by reading $DESKTOP_SESSION
