Weather Context Control

This is a script that runs in the background setting wallpapers based on the time of day and weather forecast every 20 minutes. It uses Open Weather to check the sunset and sun rise times and weather. I convert the sunset and sunrise times using code to determine if it is currently sunset or sunrise, 20 minutes periods each, or if it is night or day.

First Time Start up

Run the setup.py first to generate your Config.json file. It will ask questions for you to create it so you won't have to edit any configs yourself. Have your OpenWeather API Key ready and your zip code or coordinates as well.

{
    "openweatherapikey": "insert_api_key",
    "temp_unit": "Fahrenheit",
    "location_mode": "coord",
    "country_code": "us",
    "zip_code": "5 digit zip code",
    "latitude": "coordinates",
    "longitude": "coordinates",
    "check_rate_per_min": 20
}

Bugs

Settings Interface is very buggy. It only opens once and does not work well when I try to open it if a config does not already exist.
