albumartwallpaper's Issues

gsettings should work with urls?

For what I see, the script didn't work for me... it's putting the default Ubuntu wallpaper, I tried to put a local image uri example: 'file:///home/user/Pictures/some.jpg' and its working fine, I have tested with urls but didn't work.
The solution could be, download the image temporaly and then set it with gsettings.

Support for other Desktop Environments / OS

Hello mate, nice project here,
I was trying to use it, however I am currently on KDE, so even while the command ran without error, it was not a successful background image change. May I suggest a more robust approach in which either the user can decide if they want to run for a specific DE, or auto detect as well with the OS combination.

Cheers!
