Wallpaper Round Robin

Generates wallpapers for multiple monitors setups by combining png or jpg images together.

Requirements

• Python 3
• PIL

Usage

This section aims at guiding the user by providing basic examples. For more details, please run python3 main.py -h.

There are three generation methods which work as follow.

Let the setup contain two monitors, and suppose we have the following file tree:

dirI
|____A.png
|____B.png

dirII
|____1.png
|____2.jpg
|____3.jpg

Round Robin method

Run the following command:

python3 main.py -i dirI dirII --m round_robin

The resulting wallpapers should be generated according to the following pattern, in this order:

+---+---+    +---+---+    +---+---+    +---+---+    +---+---+    +---+---+
| A | 1 |    | B | 1 |    | B | 2 |    | A | 2 |    | A | 3 |    | B | 3 |
+---+---+    +---+---+    +---+---+    +---+---+    +---+---+    +---+---+

+---+---+    +---+---+    +---+---+    +---+---+    +---+---+    +---+---+
| B | 1 |    | A | 1 |    | A | 2 |    | B | 2 |    | B | 3 |    | A | 3 |
+---+---+    +---+---+    +---+---+    +---+---+    +---+---+    +---+---+ 

One-to-one method

Run the following command:

python3 main.py -i dirI dirII --m one_to_one

The resulting wallpapers should be generated according to the following pattern, in this order:

+---+---+    +---+---+    +---+---+    +---+---+    +---+---+    +---+---+
| A | 1 |    | B | 2 |    | A | 3 |    | B | 1 |    | A | 2 |    | B | 3 |
+---+---+    +---+---+    +---+---+    +---+---+    +---+---+    +---+---+

Gallery method

Run the following command (note that -i takes only one directory):

python3 main.py -i dirII --m gallery

The resulting wallpapers should be generated according to the following pattern, in this order:

+---+---+    +---+---+    +---+---+
| A | B |    | B | C |    | C | A |
+---+---+    +---+---+    +---+---+
