# Unsplash Ubuntu

## Why did I make this?

I am a big fan of the serious opensource communities. One such photo sharing portal is [unsplash.com](https://unsplash.com). Also, I always wanted to make some cool Ubuntu utility. So one fine day I thought "Okay, why not achieve both". This project is result of that. This is by no means a complex project(yet).

## What does it do?
A simple utility written in python that picks a high resolution random image from [unsplash.com](https://unsplash.com) and puts it as your wallpaper; updates it every hour with a new wallpaper.

## Cool, how can I install?
1. Clone and download the [repository](https://github.com/PseudoAj/UnsplashUbuntu)
2. Install the dependencies:
    1. python-wget
    2. python-tk (Tkinter)
    3. python-urllib3

3. Open terminal and change directory:
    1. `cd UnsplashUbuntu`
    2. add permissions: `chmod +x unsplashubuntu.py`
    3. Run the program: `./unsplashubuntu.py`

4. (optional) Add the program on startup by going into launcher->startup applications

## Demo:

## Features:
1. Lightweight process
2. Supports multiple monitors
3. Intelligent, checks for network before attempting

## To-do
1. Add topics filtering
2. Multiple platform support, move to electron?
