google-trend-wallpaper's Introduction

Google-Trend-Wallpaper

A python and shell script to set the wallpaper to a wordcloud of the most trending google searches.

This project is inspired from process-wallpaper. You can check it out for the wordcloud of most resource hungry processes running in your system.

Dependencies

python3
gsettings or feh To set the generated wordcloud as the wallpaper
xvfb To simulate a display and run everything in memory
firefox web browser

Python dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

selenium To scrape the data from Google trends
pyvirtualdisplay Python wrapper for xvfb
wordcloud To generate the wordcloud
PIL Python imaging library

NOTE You will need to download the webdriver for selenium. Geckodriver (webdriver for firefox) can be downloaded from here.

Setup

Clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/shardul08/Google-Trend-Wallpaper.git

Change directory to the repo

cd Google-Trend-Wallpaper

Run setup.sh with

./setup.sh

This will install all the required dependencies and set the wallpaper.

Usage

Run ./updateWallpaper.sh to update the wallpaper to the wordcloud of the latest trends.

You can set your region/country to get the trending searches in line #30 of generateWallpaper.py

You can set the number of days for which you want the trending searches in line #31 of generateWallpaper.py

NOTE If the wallpaper is not set automatically, you can set wallpaper.png as the wallpaper manually.

If you want the wallpaper to refresh/update every hour, you can add a cron job to run the script every hour.

To add a cron job, run

crontab -e

append the following

0 * * * * cd path/to/script/directory && ./updateWallpaper.sh > /tmp/wallpaper.log > 2>&1

This will refresh the wallpaper every hour. You can customize this command to refresh the wallpaper as often you want.

If you want adjust the brightness of the wallpaper you can use the dim or brighten commands:

./setBrightness.sh dim|brighten XX

Where XX is the percentage you would like to dim or brighten the image. For example ./setBrightness.sh dim 20 would dim the current wallpaper by 20% and then set the new image as your background. Again you can set wallpaper.png manually if it fails to do it automatically.

google-trend-wallpaper's Issues

enhancement to dim the wallpaper

generated wallpapers can be an eyesore behind desktops with lots of icons. a dimming option, such as adding a gray transparent layer on top might make them more useful.

Support for multiple monitors

If working on a dual monitor setup, the script considers two screens as one, resulting in a wallpaper that spreads on both screens. an option to set wallpaper on both monitors seperately, or on just one of them would be nice.

setup: "FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'geckodriver': 'geckodriver'"

With geckodriver not yet installed, I got the hard core error below.

So why not put a try-except around browser = webdriver.Firefox() and exit on an except.

I can send a PR if you want.

setup: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'selenium'

With setup.sh, I get ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'selenium'.

Solved with sudo pip install selenium ... so why doesn't the setup.sh do that?
