🖼️ Wallpaper Auto-Update Scripts (macOS, Linux, Windows)

This repository provides scripts to randomly set unique wallpapers per monitor on different operating systems.

macOS

Requirements:

• desktoppr installed via Homebrew:

brew install desktoppr

Use the provided set-random-wallpapers-multi.sh script

#!/bin/zsh

WALLPAPER_ROOT="/path/to/your/f1-wallpapers"

num_screens=$(desktoppr | wc -l | tr -d ' ')

if (( num_screens == 0 )); then
  echo "No screens detected by desktoppr."
  exit 1
fi

wallpapers=()
while IFS= read -r -d '' file; do
  wallpapers+=("$file")
done < <(find "$WALLPAPER_ROOT" -type f -iname '*.jpg' -print0)

if (( ${#wallpapers[@]} < num_screens )); then
  echo "Not enough wallpapers (${#wallpapers[@]}) for $num_screens screens."
  exit 1
fi

function shuffle_array() {
  local i tmp size rand
  size=${#wallpapers[@]}
  for ((i = size; i > 1; i--)); do
    rand=$((RANDOM % i + 1))
    tmp=${wallpapers[i]}
    wallpapers[i]=${wallpapers[rand]}
    wallpapers[rand]=$tmp
  done
}

shuffle_array

selected=("${(@)wallpapers[1,$num_screens]}")

for ((i=0; i < num_screens; i++)); do
  wallpaper="${selected[i+1]}"
  echo "Setting wallpaper for screen $i: $wallpaper"
  desktoppr "$i" "$wallpaper"
done

Replace /path/to/your/f1-wallpapers with your actual path.

Automating on macOS with launchd

Save a plist file in ~/Library/LaunchAgents/{name_of_plist}.plist

Click to expand launchd configuration

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" 
  "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">

Linux / Windows (Untested)

Click to view example Linux and Windows workflows

Linux

Install feh (Debian/Ubuntu):

sudo apt install feh

Example wallpaper script:

#!/bin/bash
WALLPAPER_ROOT="/path/to/f1-wallpapers"

mapfile -d '' wallpapers < <(find "$WALLPAPER_ROOT" -type f -iname '*.jpg' -print0)

num_screens=$(xrandr --listmonitors | tail -n +2 | wc -l)

if (( ${#wallpapers[@]} < num_screens )); then
  echo "Not enough wallpapers for $num_screens monitors."
  exit 1
fi

for ((i=0; i < num_screens; i++)); do
  feh --bg-scale "${wallpapers[i]}"
done

Note: feh might set the last wallpaper on all screens depending on your DE.

Windows

Use third-party tools:

• DisplayFusion
• John's Background Switcher
• Wallpaper Engine

Sync wallpapers using Git for Windows. PowerShell support for multi-monitor setup is limited and typically requires Windows API access.

git pull

Automate syncing with cron, launchd, Task Scheduler, or other tools.
