Installation/How to use



1. Extract the archive you have just downloaded.
2. Move ‘wallpaper_daemon.py’ somewhere safe where it won’t get deleted
3. Make it executable via the terminal using ‘chmod +x wallpaper_daemon.py’
4. Run ./wallpaper_daemon.py --install to set necessary permissions etc.
5. Add the ‘wallpaper_daemon.py’ to startup applications via System > Preferences > Startup Applications

Now whenever you login and change your wallpaper the daemon will automatically adjuct the xsplash background to the same image.
