Thanks for the replies, everyone. We seem to have two basic ideas:
1. A Debian package, updatable with apt. 2. A GUI app that would manage all the different things and ways to be updated. The reason for the whole idea, IMO, is to make the process of refreshing your wallpaper automatic. Over the years I've downloaded a bunch of calendar-photo-type wallpapers, with a few non-photo, art- style ones mixed in. Every so often I open up that directory and choose a new one, and even less often I go to KDE-Look or Flickr, etc. and download new ones. Sometimes I may go months with the same wallpaper, while other times I might update it every few weeks. I know that, for Windows users, there are things like WebShots that will do it for you (though poorly, IMO; they tend to use low-res images and add ugly text). Well, back to the ideas, I like the idea of a Debian package, because it would make the process for the user very simple: just set your wallpaper to /usr/share/wallpapers/unique-name-for-the-autoupdate- wallpaper.png, and after a normal system upgrade, you'll have a new wallpaper automatically. Different packages could be chosen for different themes, etc. KDE and GNOME can handle sizing down large images for smaller screens, and a separate package would probably be best for multi-monitor setups. A GUI app is not a bad idea; it could present a more complex interface where the user could browse by tags, choose how often to update, etc, but it would be far more complex to make and maintain. Not a bad project for PyKDE maybe (I am partial to KDE), but still much more effort than a Debian package. Any more thoughts? Maybe I should put this idea on w.d.o. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
