A gui for linux-wallpaperengine

Posted by fjolle_peter@reddit | linux | View on Reddit | 6 comments

I made a GUI for linux-wallpaperengine by almamu, it is written in python and uses GTK4 for the UI and can be found at wallpaper-engine-linux-gui. It has startup parameters that apply wallpapers at startup, update .desktop file if script is moved and a kill parameter that kills the wallpapers.

Hey, thanks for the cool project.

I do see a couple of small issues with it however,

The UI file is not using GTK 4, but rather GTK+3.26 as reported by the <requires lib="gtk+" version="3.24"/>. Consider using Cambalache instead of Glade as the latter is no longer maintained.
I see you have a install shell script. Consider packaging this app as a flatpak. This way you can reach more users on more exotic distros (especially on immutables) and by building your app against the GNOME SDK you don’t need to deal with as many dependencies.

Nevertheless nice app :)
