Is there a way you could tweak the script so we could choose a sequential wallpaper rotation? Say number our walls and have them display in that order?

Other than that I am very happy with this! :D

Hi Bruce,

I have enjoyed using this, So I hope you don't mind that I did gui for this, it is very basic and probably could use some improvements to it.

Hello, new to whole linux stuff.
Had a old laptop so installed puppy linux without failing somehow,
First package I got was rwall and I installed it from the urxvt(command thing)
when I type "rwall start" it says : #ls cannot access <directory> no such file or directory.

Help me please.

Edit: the version is slacko .6.3.0

Let's first check if rwall is in ~/my-applications/bin/

So go to the ROX-filer File Manager, and once the window listing the folders in ~ opens, click on the my-applications folder, then click on the bin folder and check if rwall is present.

If it is, I want you to do the following. Right-click in the Rox window, an option menu opens. In that option menu, go to -Window-, then scroll down to where it says -Terminal Here-.
This opens urxvt in the ~/my-applications/bin folder, so we're pretty sure it will find rwall now.

Now type "rwall start" and see what happens.

Report result if succesful or if you get an error message.

I know this is a really old post, but I was wondering how to do this too. The solution seems to be to insert fixwidgets between the 3rd and 4th last lines of the rwall_bg script, like this...

Code: Select all

while :
do
    let NUM=${RANDOM}%1000+1
    if [ "$NUM" -le "$TOTAL" ] ; then
        BACKGROUND=`grep "$NUM " ${LISTDIR}/jpglist | cut -d " " -f 2`
        set_bg $BACKGROUND
			fixwidgets
        bg_sleep $INTERVAL
    fi
done
