# Paperchanger

# Paperchanger
|

|
## Introduction
|
||||||
|
`Paperchanger` is a program aimed to assist one using the `xwallpaper` tool.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Hence `xwallpaper` provides no comprehensive way of changing the wallpaper through a graphical selector, `paperchanger` is there to fix this flaw.
|
||||||
|
Of course `paperchanger` offers fuctionality to change the wallpaper by passing a path to a file, just like you would with `xwallpaper`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Additionally, `paperchanger` gives you the option of specifying a default directory where all your wallpapers are stored.
|
||||||
|
This is nice, as it provides an easier workflow for changing wallpapers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It is important to know that `paperchanger` is using the `--zoom` flag provided by `xwallpaper` internally, although this might be adjusted or extended at some point in the future.
|
||||||

||||||
|
## Installation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Arch Based Systems
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are using an arch based system, you can install the `paperchanger` package from the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/) (Arch User Repository).
|
||||||
|
(Not yet available!)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
An AUR manager like `yay` may be used for an easy installation:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
$ yay -S paperchanger
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
If you do not want to use an AUR manager, here is how to compile and install the package manually:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Download the `PKGBUILD` file from this repository and move it to some folder.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Navigate into this folder using:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
$ cd path-to-the-folder
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now use the `makepkg` command to download the source files and compile the package:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
$ makepkg
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
After you are done creating the package, you should have many files including a `.pkg.tar.zst` archive.
|
||||||
|
This is your compressed ready to use `paperchanger` package, which can now be installed using pacman.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
$ sudo pacman -U path-to-your-archive
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The folder and its contents used for the installation process may now be deleted.
|
||||||
|

||||||
