gdksetroot is a very small application that takes an image and scale it to your X root window. If you specify a directory, then gdksetroot will takes a random wallpaper into it.

I wrote it because all others program used to set root background have some dependencies that I don’t care. So, the only dependency needed by gdksetroot is gtk+-2.0 (and it’s submodule gdk-pixbuf).

If you want to have a random wallpaper avery ten minutes, add this line to your crontab:

*/10 * * * * 0 DISPLAY=:0.0 gdksetroot /path/to/your/wallpaperdirectory

Download:

gdksetroot-1.0.tar.gz

Install:

You need to run:

'make' and then 'make install'.

If you want to change the installation directory, type before make install:

configure --prefix=/new/dir

ToDo:

• add transparency.
• add a check of the image file when directory is specified.
