Wallpaper Rotator changes your desktop background on a timer. Point it at your own picture folder or use the wallpapers that came with your system, pick an interval from 5 to 60 minutes, and play them shuffled or in order. Close the window and it keeps going in the background, and it picks up again after you log in. It opens from your app launcher, so no terminal is needed.

Built and tested on Pop!_OS 22.04 (GNOME). It also supports Ubuntu, Cinnamon, MATE, Xfce and KDE Plasma, with feh, nitrogen or swaybg as fallbacks. COSMIC (Pop!_OS 24.04) is not supported yet.

Ubuntu, Pop!_OS, Mint or Debian: download the .deb and run
sudo apt install ./wallpaper-rotator_1.0.0_all.deb

Other distros: download the .tar.gz, extract it and run ./install.sh (needs Python 3 with Tk).

Free and open source under the MIT license.
