How To Let Your Wallpapers Rotate With Webilder (Linux Mint 11) This article is about how to automatically change your desktop wallpaper on prespecified intervals with a software called Webilder that also downloads new wallpapers from flickr and webshots every few hours. This is also the software used for rotating wallpapers in the Ubuntu derivative Pinguy OS. I have installed and tried Webilder on Linux Mint 11, however it should also work on all other Debian and Ubuntu based distributions.

If you experience some trouble displaying the images, as I have had, consider trying this : Go to preferences>advanced>Wallpaper Settings  then check "Set a wallpaper by running:" and paste in the text field right underneath :

mateconftool-2 -t string -s /desktop/mate/background/picture_options zoom;mateconftool-2 -t string -s /desktop/mate/background/picture_filename "%f"

 

This will set the wallpaper image in mode "zoom", but you can change it to "centered", "scaled", "stretched", "wallpaper"(tiled) or "spanned".

The second command will just change the picture to the one selected by the program ("%f", don't forget the quotation mark).

 

Good luck with all that.
