[opensuse] SPAM: How do I change the Wallpaper from command line
In order to change my wallpaper in kde I have to edit the file $KDEHOME/share/config/kdesktoprc and set the line Wallpaper=$WALLPAPAERPATH, to the new wallpaper path Once I change the path everything is OK. But, how do I apply the changes from the command line? Thanks a lot. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No, much simpler to right click on the desktop, select configure desktop, select background and you should be able to follow from there. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I said command line. I want to make an script and change my wallpaper everyday. So, evidently, your version is not simpler. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You may use dcop: dcop kdesktop KBackgroundIface changeWallpaper Anyway, you don't need to (and shouldn't) edit kdesktoprc directly. Instead, use: dcop kdesktop KBackgroundIface setWallpaper /home/user/mywall.jpg 5 The number 5 stands for the mode (centered, resized, cropped,...). Just try it out with different numbers to find out the one you want. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Yes, that was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Victor. On Sunday 15 October 2006 16:04, Víctor Fernández wrote:

Looks to me like you didn't try and because of that I shouldn't tell you, but what you want is available as I directed. attitude! -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
