reddit-background

Small python script that downloads image from a subreddit and sets it as wallpaper.

Currently only works on GNOME.

Automating the script

The easiest way to automate this script is using Cron. If you are new to cron here is a useful tutorial: https://linuxconfig.org/linux-cron-guide

Usage

The script pulls the current top image from one of subreddits listed in subreddits.txt (chosen at random). If you wish to add a subreddit you can do so by simply putting it in the subreddits.txt file. A few default subreddits are already provided.

You can use the script by simply calling it without any parameters. There is also additional option to save the image to a custom folder by using -o or --todir parameters.
