A bash script (dwall) that automatically changes desktop wallpapers according to the current time of day using cron job scheduling. It ships with 25+ wallpaper sets, supports pywal color generation, and works across window managers, Wayland compositors, and major desktop environments.

Use cases

  • change my wallpaper automatically throughout the day
  • set up timed wallpapers on linux
  • make my desktop wallpaper match sunrise and sunset
  • use pywal to theme my system from the wallpaper
  • schedule wallpaper changes with cron
  • get dynamic wallpapers for my window manager or wayland compositor

When to choose

  • you want time-based wallpaper switching on linux with minimal setup
  • you use a window manager, Wayland compositor, or a major desktop environment like GNOME, KDE, or XFCE
  • you want pywal integration to recolor your terminal from the wallpaper
  • you prefer a lightweight bash script over a GUI wallpaper manager

When to avoid

  • you need dynamic wallpapers on macOS or Windows
  • you want video or animated live wallpapers rather than timed static images
  • your environment lacks feh/cron or a supported Wayland daemon like oguri
  • you need a graphical interface to manage wallpaper collections
