python script to create backgrounds rotating screen.

Revolving funds are the ones we have on our desktop Gnome 2.8 in later ... (From Ubuntu 9.04 onwards approx) and an example of this is the Wallpaper "Cosmos" which is by default in our system.




However, we have our own background as the Cosmos and we got bored, so we have to do is download the script by clicking the link sgte .


As
use:

already have our downloaded file, save it wherever you want, then create a folder containing all the images you wish (I put the script inside that folder for convenience).

Open a terminal and we stand in this place where we have our script and execute:

slider-autogen.py python {nombre_carpeta_img nombre_salida_archivo}


nombre_salida_archivo nombre_carpeta_img {} are not necessary if we have the python file in the folder containing wallpapers.




After running the command noted that generates a file called "background.xml" or the name you put as the 2nd parameter, default background.xml going to use.

Then go to " Preference" -> "Appearance " and click on the tab " Fund."

Steps to Change Background:













That's it!

Here is the link of the project for those who want to edit or part of it:
