gnome-background-generator 1.1.2

使用XML文件

Gnome壁纸可以使用XML文件创建动画背景。这个小脚本允许您使用命令行轻松生成自己的XML背景更改器文件。

要生成XML文件，请使用gnome-background-generator

usage: gnome-background-generator [-h] [-p PATH] [-o OUTPUT]
                              [-t TRANSITION_TIME] [-d DISPLAY_TIME] [-s]
                              [-b]

A simple command line tool to generate an XML file to use for gnome
wallpapers, to have dynamic walls

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -p PATH, --path PATH  Path to look for the pictures. If no output is
                        specified, will be used too for outputing the dynamic-
                        wallpaper.xml file. Default value is the current
                        directory (.)
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        Output filename. If no filename is specified, a
                        dynamic-wallpaper.xml file will be generated in the
                        path containing the pictures. You can also use "-" to
                        display the xml in the stdout.
  -t TRANSITION_TIME, --transition-time TRANSITION_TIME
                        Time (in seconds) transitions must last (default value
                        is 2 seconds)
  -d DISPLAY_TIME, --display-time DISPLAY_TIME
                        Time (in seconds) a picture must be displayed. Default
                        value is 900 (15mn)
  -s, --set-background  '''try to set the background using gnome-appearance-
                        properties
  -b, --debug

随机更改您的桌面

您还可以使用另一个命令将您的背景更改为已知目录中的随机文件

$ gnome-wallpaper-select /path/to/walls

第二个命令与cronjob结合使用时很有用；不幸的是，有时这是一个繁琐的过程，因为crontabs使用dbus，这与gconftool-2的使用冲突。

以下是一个简单教程，说明如何让它工作

$ wget http://github.com/ametaireau/gnome-background-generator/raw/master/xdbus -O ~/.Xdbus
$ crontab -e

然后添加

*/4 * * * * . ~/.Xdbus; /usr/local/bin/gnome-wallpaper-select ~/Images/walls
