A work-in-progress script that aims to replicate the functionality of the Mbooru extension for Muzei on Android, on desktop computers.
This program will set the desktop wallpaper (on Linux, Windows and Mac) to a random image from a Danbooru-like imageboard that fits the specified search tags.
I like Muzei and the Muzei Client by madhacker exists, but it doesn't support Danbooru (or any other sites for that matter), and so this project came to be. I hope this might be useful for someone else too. Someday I might make a fork of the client with support for extensions, but I'll wait and see if the original developer is making any progress before doing so.
- Python >= 3.6
- Pillow module
- Tk module
- Requests module
- Feh (if using a standalone window manager)
You can install the missing modules with pip install --user MODULE_NAME.
Call the script from the terminal with the --help flag for usage.
Here's an example of how to use the XD.py script:
./XD.py set touhou scenery --imageboard https://danbooru.donmai.us --retries 0 --size 0.5
This will set the wallpaper to an image tagged with 'touhou' and 'scenery' from the imageboard located at https://danbooru.donmai.us. It will not retry if it fails to get an image and the image needs to be at least half the size of the screen resolution.
To get another image with the same settings as before, do:
./XD.py --next
Please note that no scheduling capabilities are available at this stage of development because I don't know how to get python-crontab working.
You'll need to set it up yourself using crontab with the command nohup /path/to/XD.py --next & on *NIX, or pythonw.exe /path/to/XD.py --next in
the Task Scheduler on Windows.
Also note that Wayland compositors are not supported yet (not until the
protocol matures and something like feh comes about).
