A changing wallpaper for Linux (tested on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick). Size is 1366x768 (my desktop)

Instructions:
-copy the file to a directory where it won't bother you
-extract the files
-inside a terminal, cd into the folder that was created with the new files
-run "sh ./install" (without the quotes)

...and that should be it. You should now have a wallpaper that changes throughout the day. The images were borrowed from several online sources, and the xml script was borrowed from the All Day Long animated wallpaper found on gnome-look.org, by Edgar Rene Flores Balcazar.

I hope you enjoy it.

I'll try this out as soon as I've got Linux installed again!

I followed your instructions perfectly, being a Ubuntu user since 9.04 was released, and am now running 11.04 with classic desktop, I ran the install.sh and it said the background was set, but nothing on my desktop changed?

Hey, your work got featured on a TV program named "Fr@tal", of a mexican channel named "ForoTV". I have not found the video, but it was a few minutes ago.

I haven't checked the comments in a while. Seems like there's some buzz around this. Awesome.

To answer a few questions I noticed:

-I don't think this is able to be installed in Windows, and I realize that it does not jive with Gnome3
-There is no additional process used by this, so all you need to do is change wallpapers.
-I'm not sure why the wallpaper sometimes doesn't match the time of day. Feel free to mess with the xml file to change when the different wallpapers come in.
-The location in the picture is somewhere in New Zealand. No idea where, but it's a beautiful country overall.

I also noticed that someone put a tutorial on YouTube, which explains the many comments. Glad people like it.

Cheers!

Dave

For some reason mine only shows night time pictures and currently there is a ton of sunlight outside (5pm). Would be great if they had a wallpaper that integrated with your time zone. I came across one, but the image was very cartoon-ish for lasting appeal. I will give this one till tomorrow to see if it catches up or changes at all. If we actually do need to mess around with the script, then I think the person who upload this wallpaper should re-upload the fixed version (The file is not that big after all).
