Multi monitor background download script

Download multi monitor images and set them to the correct monitors on your mac.

Usage

bundle install

Triple monitors:

./random-background.rb

Dual monitors:

./random-background-dual.rb

There are optional arguments to customise the backgrounds

-c NAME,--category=NAME - Choose the category of background you want. Any of the category paths on www.triplemonitorbackgrounds.com will work
-r,--refresh - Forces the selected category's background list to refresh
-d PATH,--directory=PATH - Choose the download directory for the images

If your monitors are not arranged the same as mine you'll have to alter the applescript:

tell desktop x should be updated to reflect your monitor configuration. I'll move this to yaml config at some point.

Enhancements

Things I want to do but haven't finished yet

  • Add yaml customisation for the default parameters
  • Allow customisation of monitors through config
