Nice! thanks!
The slight "problem" with cron jobs IMHO is that the smallest interval is one minute. A 30 sec. change is not possible. On the other hand I guess changes that fast are rare.

Re: Gnome wallpaper changer
in that instance you can modify the script to loop or run it in a loop from a bash script.
Re: Gnome wallpaper changer
Yes that is a solution for us "slide show" fans. I am using your py script on Mandriva and b1o java on Arch. They both work very well.
The difference is that the py script is easy to customize. And that the java solution can change intervals on the fly.

A new version is out of my automatic background changer
System Tray icon now added, nice if you want to change folder or interval without having to open the config file

Re: Gnome wallpaper changer
It does not start at all. Probably a java thing. I just realized that JRE was not installed. Having another go.....
No! JRE from Oracle wants to remove OpenJDK and that cannot be removed because Netbeans depends on it etc etc. The old one is working just fine so I do not see why it was necessary to FUBAR it like this.

Re: Gnome wallpaper changer
install jdk, it will uninstall openjdk/openjre, This will make it work, the openjdk has a problem with compiz. you can use compiz but then you need to turn off compiz, start the bg changer, then start compiz again... I found it easier to just get JRE/JDK from sun/oracle. i will try to get it working with openjdk next release.
And if you install jdk it will replace open jdk and netbeans won't be touched.(at least in arch it does)
The problem with compiz is that the openjdk hasn't included it in it's library as a desktop manager.

Re: Gnome wallpaper changer
OK I'll have another go...
Yup works fine now. I just set the interval to 10 sec. That is all the conky can take because there is a delay in the conky bg change

Re: Gnome wallpaper changer
hehe good. I'm trying to find the openjdk source for the java class SystemTray. it causes an exception on compiz, even though it works.

Re: Gnome wallpaper changer
The image does not appear in the tray after a restart. Only a blank square. It still works but it looks but ugly. I auto started it with the java -jar <path> gautobg-changer.jar
It will only work if you start the gautobg-changer.sh from the same folder. And do change the name! It is to long

Dude! If I were you, my brother would so hate me! He's doing a good thing here, contributing to open source like that...
With that being said, I can't figure out how to install this thing. At all.
I'd rather be a free person who fears terrorists, than be a "safe" person who fears the government.
