auto-change wallpaper

For a long time I've kept just one wallpaper as I don't use desktop icons and run 95% of applications Maximized all the time

Well I've started to use lxterminal in transparent mode so thought I put some effort in to auto-changing wallpapers

I have a my openbox autostart script load a script and and it gives me a new wallpaper every minute. The only issues I had were tweaking the themes so all the wallpapers worked, and ending the session fails to quit the script! This means if I exit and log back in I have the script run again so the paper changes faster.

#!/bin/bash
while true; do
find ~/.config/openbox/wallpaper/ -type f \( -name '*.jpg' -o -name '*.png' \) -print0 |
shuf -n1 -z | xargs -0 feh --bg-scale
sleep 1m
done

found here :
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/93962/whats-the-problem-with-this-script-to-change-wallpaper

I modified a gtk-theme, openbox theme settings, tint2, conky and xboomx based around 4 main colours

LCD emac gets a Dragora rebirth

My LCD emac gets a rebirth after I broke the power button. This time it was a necessity as my Girl friend

Wanted her monitor back and my PC out of the office!

Fine in to the workshop it went..... for a makeover :) Added one old sony vaio without screen, Dragora 2.2 and my usual openbox, tint, rox setup. I left the rear cover off as there was no nice (easy way) to get to the the DVD drive.

Not pretty but it works fine. Boot screen.

Loaded

Now happily back in the office....

Openbox menus screen shots Dragora2

Openbox menus screen shots

If you like Rox-filer openbox and tint see my posts here.

Rox-filer openbox tin2

My Tint2rc here

My openbox menu configs are here

My openbox rc configs are here

http://paste.debian.net/15673/

and the menu-generator schema.pl looks like this

http://paste.debian.net/15674/

As anyone that has found this site will know I like openbox tint2 and Rox-filer so I thought I'd better update

After much fiddling I manages to improve my dynamic menus on openbox. I used

http://trizenx.blogspot.ro/2012/02/obmenu-generator.html

for the dynamic menu. Very fast it is too, and with a nice license. Gpl3. What I really like is it lets you add other scripts and custom entries to your openbox menu by editing it's schenma.pl. All from the menu. Nice

I added obbrowser for dynamic file access.

http://trizenx.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/obbrowser.html

Then my beloved Rox-filer bookmarks script

http://icculus.org/openbox/pipemenus/bookmarks.py

More scripts here:

http://openbox.org/wiki/Openbox:Pipemenus#Scripts

But some are without a license so useless to me. dbbolton has told on irc me his are MIT.

"[2013-07-10 20:59:05] <dbbolton> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_license#License_terms"

That's rather cool as I wanted a system viewer in the menu and he's written one. :)
