Python 3.4 script designed to run in the background and read assorted key combinations to change your background picture from an Imgur album. Currently Windows-only, but Mac/Linux support is in the works!
Here's a list of albums with wallpaper dumps for inspiration/the lazy.
On Windows 64-bit (not Itanium) machines, simply download the zip file in windows/dist and unzip to somewhere on your computer. Then, launch imgurswitcher.exe and you're done! See the usage instructions for the key combinations.
If you don't want to launch the ImgurSwitcher executable every time you log in, you should add the ImgurSwitcher executable to the list of startup tasks. Google has good info on how to do this, but here's a link to some instructions.
On machines other than this (or if you have a Python 3.4 interpreter and want to use that to run ImgurSwitcher), you will have to build from source (for now). See the Windows development info for instructions.
Here are the key combinations:
- ALT+D: Set background to the next image in the album (wraps around)
- ALT+A: Set background to the previous image in the album (wraps around)
- ALT+R: Set background to a random image in the album
- ALT+S: Save the current background image to a location of your choice
- ALT+U: Set the URL to the Imgur album you want to use as the image source
- ALT+Q: Quit ImgurSwitcher
Tested on my Windows 10 64-bit machine (i.e. the only one I have access to right now :) ).
If you find a bug, please submit it to the Issues page on this repository.
