tkwallpaper-0.2-pre2.tgz

This is just a quick thing I wrote up after a long futile search on the web for anything similar for Linux. The documentation is rather terse, but this is a rather simple program, and should be self explanatory. If I receive some feedback or questions, then I'll try to spruce up the documentation.

The gist of this program is that it changes the background every so many seconds. It provides a nice interface for selection of background images, as well as an interactive way to control which picture is currently displayed.

What you need

• tcltk/wish (tested with 8.0)
• a image display program (currently set up to use "xv")
• some pictures/backgrounds :)

Installing

If you want to use something different from "xv", you will have to change the "viewercmd" variable in "tkwallpaper".

The program is currently setup to install into /usr/local/* If you would like to change this,

• edit tkwallpaper and change the "lib_files_dir" variable
• edit Makefile and change INST_DIR

Tested/Developed on

• Linux 2.0.*/2.2.*
• should be ok on other platforms that have TclTk
