Not working on Ubuntu 18.04

Closed this issue 6 years ago · 5 comments

Hey cool stuff! Unfortunately this doesn't work for me.

This is all I get when running the script. No errors but the wallpaper never changes. I do see /tmp/back4 was created.

Ubuntu 18.04
Gnome 3.28.3
feh version 2.23.2

cxf@PC:~$ cd foo-Wallpaper-Feh-Gif/
cxf@PC:~/foo-Wallpaper-Feh-Gif$ ./back4.sh gif/cyberpunk.gif-0.010 &
[1] 2838
cxf@PC:~/foo-Wallpaper-Feh-Gif$ spliting ..
ok
cxf@PC:~/foo-Wallpaper-Feh-Gif$

feh does not support changing the background on gnome, so this script won't work.

Originally it support wm like I3,iwm,awesome ..

Solution for ubuntu/xfce ->
In back4.sh change this pattern
feh --bg-fill $dir/$hash/$i
by
xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /backdrop/screen0/monitor0/workspace0/last-image -s $dir/$hash/$i

You can set style stretched in your desktop panel

Let me hear from you.
