Wallpaper Mate is a CLI tool that sets your desktop background to a random wallpaper fetched from a pool of over a million images. You can specify search terms to look under (e.g. space, cowboy), and set it to run at intervals. It also fetches your screen's resolution to ensure the best quality images.
Works on
- Windows
- MacOS
- Linux (requires ImageMagick if you want program to automatically fetch your screen's resolution
apt-get install imagemagick)
