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 (Arch User Repository).
(Not yet available!)
An AUR manager like yay may be used for an easy installation:
$ 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:
$ cd path-to-the-folder
Now use the makepkg command to download the source files and compile the package:
$ 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.
$ sudo pacman -U path-to-your-archive
The folder and its contents used for the installation process may now be deleted.
Other Systems (PKGBUILD file is not used)
