Whenever I type styli.sh in the directory it is present. Nothing happens it waits for some seconds and then the wallpaper does not change

It seems to only change the existing window with -p option.
How to make new terminal instances inherit the colors?

Since the last modification FEH no longer works...
line 381 we can read :

FEH=$(feh)

it should be written :

FEH=(feh)

What's the license on this script?

Hi,
I have the following crontab:* * * * * /path/to/styli.sh -s "dark-color" -p

the colors are updated for terminal, but the wallpaper and polybar colors don't update.

If I run the /path/to/styli.sh -s "dark-color" -p directly in a terminal, it works. What could go wrong here? Thanks!!

it seems like source.unsplash.com is discontinued. this should be updated to new available url format of unspalsh.

as in title.

It seems that this won't work in LXQT environment

Hi,

Is it possible to disable styli.sh when I am using Vim? When I use Vim I also use the Limelight plugin https://github.com/junegunn/limelight.vim and it seems it cannot calculate the color for dimming down the surrounding paragraphs.

Thank you.

I am not 100% sure, but I think that unsplash has moved to only access the photos via API, so it is no long working.

I noticed that you have used a weird method to switch wallpaper in KDE. Which is kinda slow.

kde_cmd() {
    cp ${wallpaper} "${cachedir}/tmp.jpg"
    qdbus org.kde.plasmashell /PlasmaShell org.kde.PlasmaShell.evaluateScript "var allDesktops = desktops();print (allDesktops);for (i=0;i<allDesktops.length;i++) {d = allDesktops[i];d.wallpaperPlugin = \"org.kde.image\";d.currentConfigGroup = Array(\"Wallpaper\", \"org.kde.image\", \"General\");d.writeConfig(\"Image\", \"file:${cachedir}/tmp.jpg\")}"
    qdbus org.kde.plasmashell /PlasmaShell org.kde.PlasmaShell.evaluateScript "var allDesktops = desktops();print (allDesktops);for (i=0;i<allDesktops.length;i++) {d = allDesktops[i];d.wallpaperPlugin = \"org.kde.image\";d.currentConfigGroup = Array(\"Wallpaper\", \"org.kde.image\", \"General\");d.writeConfig(\"Image\", \"file:${wallpaper}\")}"
    sleep 5 && rm "${cachedir}/tmp.jpg"
}

I instead suggest you to use

wallpaper="${cachedir}/${RANDOM}.jpg"

and use this as the KDE function

kde_cmd() {
    qdbus org.kde.plasmashell /PlasmaShell org.kde.PlasmaShell.evaluateScript "var allDesktops = desktops();print (allDesktops);for (i=0;i<allDesktops.length;i++) {d = allDesktops[i];d.wallpaperPlugin = \"org.kde.image\";d.currentConfigGroup = Array(\"Wallpaper\", \"org.kde.image\", \"General\");d.writeConfig(\"Image\", \"file:${wallpaper}\")}"
}

Note that this method will pile up downloaded wallpapers inside cache directory.(which is not too bad)
But theres a way to fix this issue : https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/delete-files-older-than-x-days-on-linux/

Hello,

Does it store the downloaded wallpapers somewhere or does it delete them each time I download a new wallpaper?

Thank you.

This is the error

/home/matt/.cache/styli.sh/wallpaper.jpg: No such file or directory
feh WARNING: /home/matt/.cache/styli.sh/wallpaper.jpg does not exist - skipping
feh: No loadable images specified.
See 'feh --help' or 'man feh' for detailed usage information

Hello, I been getting this error and it's not setting the wallpaper.

Command used: /styli.sh -s "dark blue"

On line 213 changing the boolean to isType=true set the wallpaper properly.

OS: Nixos
WM: i3

I want to be able to search for a phrase instead of just a single word when I'm using the -s option.
I tempered with the script because when I put quotes on my phrase it outputs something like styli.sh: line 113: [: xxx: binary operator expected. I changed line 113 to if [ ! -z "$search" ] but that didn't seem to work much more than remove the warning.

not an issue but more of a feature request as I don't know other ways to do it:

is the -p flag default to dark theme? is it possible to have a light theme?

Thank you!

Hello,
Stylish was not working on my Ubuntu 22.04 + GNOME 42 and Darkmode enabled.

There are now 2 ways to configure a new wallpaper with gsettings:

To set the wallpaper of the light mode:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri ''

To set the wallpaper of the dark mode:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri-dark ''

As workaround in styli.sh I've made this change :

371 gnome_cmd() {
372     #gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri "file://${wallpaper}"
373     gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri-dark "file://${wallpaper}"
374 }

Camille.

Hello! I just tried out styli.sh and I'm really liking it so far. It's a simple, easy script that gives me more control over my wallpaper than KDE alone.
However I've had some trouble with my multiple monitor setup. Often. it works perfectly, setting the new wallpaper on both monitors as expected. Occasionally though, it only sets the wallpaper on one monitor, leaving the other blank.

Operating System: Manjaro KDE
Plasma Version: 5.21.5
Command: ~/.styli.sh/styli.sh -k

Any idea what might be causing this?

I had to edit line 158 to make the README example "get a random wallpaper from one of the set subreddits" to work.

I replaced

mapfile -t SUBREDDITS <<<"$CONFDIR/subreddits"

with

mapfile -t SUBREDDITS <"$CONFDIR/subreddits"

Probably a typo ?

I also needed the fix provided in this issue

./styli.sh -x grep: screen.*/monitor.*image-path$: No such file or directory

Void Linux x64, Ryzen 9 mini-PC connected to HDMI monitor. Thank you for looking into this!

Hi,

Suddenly it is not working anymore. I used it happily for a few months on my Manjaro Xfce and now when I do

./styli.sh or any command with it I receive this:

SSL_INIT
SSL_INIT

And nothing changes...

Thank you for any suggestions.

Not sure if it works behind proxy but adding a proxy command line arg might help or document if it does indeed work with environment proxy settings.

As the codebase grows I think it might be worth it to ask PRs to adhere to certain guidelines around formatting and shellcode. As an example, in these two if statements, there's three different types of indentation: https://github.com/thevinter/styli.sh/blob/master/styli.sh#L202

  if [ ! -z $custom ]; then
      feh+=($custom)
  fi

  if [ ! -z $dir ]; then
    feh+=(--randomize $dir)
  else
	  feh+=("${cachedir}/wallpaper.jpg")
  fi

I wouldn't mind putting up a PR that goes through and fixes all the shellcheck issues.

I am trying to create a similar app for windows using Go language called go-wallpaper.
I am trying to download images from subreddits just like styli.sh does, but I am getting a 429 Too Many Requests error
I tried different user agents in the header, but it is not working
How to get around this?

Basically KDE can't find file when tries to set a wallpaper for multiple displays (probably 3+), so 1 display have wallpaper others have black screen. Fix for this:
style.sh line 349 (i'm bad at pull requests xd)
rm "${cachedir}/tmp.jpg"
to
sleep 5 && rm "${cachedir}/tmp.jpg"

When you try to run .

./styli.sh -n -l any subreddit

EDIT: by "any subreddit" I mean to say "any subreddit from the list of available ones".

you got this message error: MIME-Type missmatch. Downloaded file is not an image!

Sorry if this is to little information. But this is what is happening.
Hope I'm helping some way.
Congratulations for the script, really useful, wish you the best!
Keep coding!
