Description:
While the title may appear quite strange, the article is about
installing a
package to have a new random wallpaper everytime you start the X
session!
First, you need to install a package named `openbsd-backgrounds` which
is quite
large with a size of 144 MB. This package made by Marc Espie contains
lot of
pictures shot by some OpenBSD developers.
You can automatically set a picture as a background when xenodm start
and
prompt for your username by uncommenting a few lines in the file
`/etc/X11/xenodm/Xsetup_0`:
Uncomment this part
if test -x /usr/local/bin/openbsd-wallpaper
then
/usr/local/bin/openbsd-wallpaper
fi
The command `openbsd-wallpaper` will display a different random picture
on
every screen (if you have multiples screen connected) every time you
run it.
