That’s it. Nothing fancy.

## Why Should I Use This?
|
||||
|
||||
Eh, you don’t have to. I was looking for a way to change my wallpaper at set
|
||||
intervals that
|
||||
|
||||
* supported multi-monitor setups properly,
|
||||
* didn’t reinvent the wallpaper wheel, instead used `swaybg` in the background,
|
||||
* integrated nicely with systemd (which I use to run _all_ my desktop related
|
||||
things) and
|
||||
* just worked.
|
||||
|
||||
That didn’t seem to exist, so I made it. And since I’m _probably_ not the only
|
||||
one looking for it, here it is. Have fun!
|
||||
|
||||
## How Does It Work?
|
||||
|
||||
1. Copy `backgrounds.example.json` to `~/config/sway/backgrounds.json`.

@ -28,6 +42,16 @@ to do it “right”, set up some `sway-session.target` and a dropin config for
|
|||
service that binds it to that, then have sway run the target on startup. If you
|
||||
want to do it in any other way, go ahead!

||||
|
||||
## Known Issues
|
||||
|
||||
Since I have hacked this in a couple h from concept to “eh, works well enough”,
|
||||
it is not very resilient. You mess up the timer/service, you have syntax errors
|
||||
in your configuration file … it will just die instead of spawning a `swaybg`
|
||||
process.
|
||||
|
||||
On the plus side, you’ll notice when it doesn’t work. Since, you know, you don’t
|
||||
get your wallpapers.
|
||||
|
||||
## How Do I Get Rid Of It?
|
||||
|
||||
You could just disable the timer.
