This daemon periodically changes your background to a random background chosen from a directory. It watches the directory so that new images still have a chance of being shown.

The walldo script that comes with it sends commands to it asyncronously. The daemon supports the following commands:

  • walldo next
    • Tells the daemon to pick a new wallpaper immediately and restart the countdown timer until the next wallpaper.
  • walldo refresh
    • Re-applies the current wallpaper
  • walldo var
    • Lists the configureable variables
  • walldo var
    • Gives more specific information about the given named variable
  • walldo var
    • Sets the variable to the new given value
