Hi,
This post is regarding a application that I want to build. This is my first time using Ubuntu after transitioning from Windows. I wanted to build a bing wallpaper like application for my system, such that the application updates the system’s background everyday like bing wallpapers. How can I do that? I’ve figured out some parts of it but how can I update the wallpaper without doing it manually. Would love some pointers regarding this!!!
Rather than start from scratch, you might want to look at adding this feature to the long-standing “Variety” wallpaper downloader. The source code is on github and there’s an open issue requesting this feature.
Actually I wanted to build something on my own from scratch. I used AI to figure out the steps. I came across gsettings utility. The ideas was to scrape this website which Bing uses and update it using the gsettings utility. And then run the application as a service.
