RandomWallpaperGnome3
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Random Wallpapers for Gnome 3 is a gnome shell extension which fetches a random wallpaper from an online source and sets it as desktop background.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation (symlink to repository)
|
|
Clone the repository and run `./install.sh` in the repository folder to make a symbolic link from the extensions folder to the git repository.
|
|
This installation will depend on the repository folder, so do not delete the cloned folder.
|
|
|
|
Then open the command prompt (Alt+F2) end enter `r` to restart the gnome session.
|
|
In the case you are using wayland, then no restart should be required.
|
|
|
|
Now you should be able to activate the extension through the gnome-tweak-tool.
|
|
|
|
__Installing this way has various advantages:__
|
|
* Switching between versions and branches.
|
|
* Updateing the extension with `git pull`
|
|
|
|
## Installation (manually)
|
|
|
|
Clone or download the repository and copy the folder `randomwallpaper@iflow.space` in the repository to `~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/`.
|
|
|
|
Then open the command prompt (Alt+F2) end enter `r` to restart the gnome session.
|
|
In the case you are using wayland, then no restart should be required.
|
|
|
|
Now you should be able to activate the extension through the gnome-tweak-tool.
|
|
|
|
## Uninstall
|
|
Run `./install uninstall` to delete the symbolic link.
|
|
If you installed the extension manually you have to delete the extension folder `randomwallpaper@iflow.space` in `~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/`.
|
|
|
|
## Debugging
|
|
Extension output can be followed with `./debug.sh`. Information should be printed using the existing logger class but can also be printed with `global.log()` (not recommended).
|
|
To debug the `prefs.js` use `./debug.sh perfs`.
|
|
|
|
## Compiling schemas
|
|
This can be done with the command: `glib-compile-schemas randomwallpaper@iflow.space/schemas/`
