Introducing xl-wallpaper changer :
Xl-wallpaper is a wallpapers changer for Unix (mostly Linux) desktop environnements XFCE and LXDE.
It can run too with NITROGEN, a graphical application use with environnement as Openbox or Fluxbox.
It doen't run with others desktop environnements, as KDE, GNOME or UNITY.

It is very lightweight (41 kb on your HD), 9 kb in memory, and even 0kb in memory if you choose only a change of wallpaper when PC startup.

deb file here : http://www.batraciens.net/xl-wallpaper/download.htm
To be on the safe side, try it on a fresh install with Puppy or Dog.

I installed xl-wallpaper changer on a Ubuntu 16 derivative based on LXDE, even though deb file has been tested from 10.10 to 15.04. It works out-of-the-box, looking in a wallpaper folder, and changing wallpaper at start up, or periodically, depending on your configuration.

With Openbox :
After installation and configuration, xl-wallpaper can be run at each launch of Openbox. Place the command xl-wallpa-run.sh & dans le fichier : /home/votre-user/.config/openbox/autostart/autostart
You can place too (it speed the display of first wallpaper, but it's not an obligation) a command nitrogen --restore & at the begining of the programms launch by autostart.


Note :
As a lightweight wallpaper changer, it works out-of-the-box on Mintpup, using JWM.
