Script to set your Linux desktop wallpaper to the Astronomy Picture of the Day.

apod-desktop's Issues

MATE support

Thanks for the script. Please can you include MATE support as follows:

"mate") gsettings set org.mate.background picture-filename "$imgfile" ;;

and
*) echo "Usage: apod gnome1|gnome22|gnome24|gnome3|kde|mate|fvwm|fvwm-xv|xfce|xfce4|hsetroot|i3wm" ;;

xfce 'reload' command format.

I had to make the following change to get this to work with xfce:

         # for versions < 4.6

•        xfdesktop -reload
  

•        xfdesktop --reload  
  

Thx.

XFCE4 change

Thanks for the script.

On XFCE4, Xubuntu 18.04, I had to change the following line in the script to make it work:

PROPERTY="/backdrop/screen0/monitor0/workspace0/last-image"

The entire code segment is as follows:

PROPERTY="/backdrop/screen0/monitor0/workspace0/last-image"
sleep 1;
xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p ${PROPERTY} -s "$imgfile"
