Styli.sh is a Bash script that aims to automate the tedious process of finding new wallpapers, downloading and switching them via the configs. Styli.sh can download random images from Picsum or the specified subreddits. If you have pywal it also can set automatically your terminal colors.
This script is made to work with feh, nitrogen,
XFCE, GNOME, KDE, Sway or SWWW, having one of those is a requirement.
git clone https://github.com/thevinter/styli.sh
cd styli.sh
./styli.sh
# To set a random background (automatically detects monitor resolution)
$ ./styli.sh
# Save the current image to ~/Pictures directory
$ ./styli.sh -sa
# To specify a desired width or height
$ ./styli.sh -w 1080 -h 720
$ ./styli.sh -w 2560
$ ./styli.sh -h 1440
# To get a random wallpaper from one of the set subreddits
# NOTE: The width/height parameters DON'T work with reddit
$ ./styli.sh -l reddit
# To get a random wallpaper from a custom subreddit
$ ./styli.sh -r <custom_reddit>
$ ./styli.sh -r wallpaperdump
# To use the builtin feh --bg options
$ ./styli.sh -b <option>
$ ./styli.sh -b bg-scale -r widescreen-wallpaper
# To add custom feh flags
$ ./styli.sh -c <flags>
$ ./styli.sh -c --no-xinerama -r widescreen-wallpaper
# To automatically set the terminal colors
$ ./styli.sh -p
# To use nitrogen instead of feh
$ ./styli.sh -n
# To update > 1 screens using nitrogen
$ ./styli.sh -n -m <number_of_screens>
# Choose a random background from a directory
$ ./styli.sh -d /path/to/dir
KDE, GNOME, XFCE, Sway and SWWW are natively supported without the need of feh. The script currently does not allow to scale the image. To use their built-in background managers use the appropriate flag.
# GNOME
$ ./styli.sh -g
# XFCE
$ ./styli.sh -x
# KDE
$ ./styli.sh -k
# Hyprpaper (Hyprland)
$ ./styli.sh -hp
# Sway
$ ./styli.sh -y
# SWWW
$ ./styli.sh -sw
To set a new background every time you reboot your computer add the following to your i3/config file (or any other WM config)
exec_always path/to/script/styli.sh
To change background every hour launch the following command
crontab -e
and add the following to the opened file
@hourly path/to/script/styli.sh
To manage custom subreddits just edit the subreddits file by placing there all your desired communities, one for each newline
