rbg - Random Background
Simple C program that recurses through a directory tree and finds a random image file, then uses a defined external program to set it as the X display's root bitmap image.
Invocation is as simple as rbg [keyword]
The program reads from a .rbgrc file in the user's home directory. This rc file has a very basic syntax:
- Octothorpes (#) are comments.
!cmd some command and arguments %s- defines the wallpaper setting command that will be used to actually set the random image. %s in the command is replaced with the image filename.keyword /some/path- A path to recurse through and the keyword associated with it.
The default !cmd is wmsetbg, but anything at all can be used.
Build
Just run make, make a .rbgrc file in your home directory (see rbgrc.samp for an example), place the rbg exec somewhere useful, and off you go.
No magic dependancies beyond the usual system stuff.
