Py3status Random Wallpaper is a module for Py3status (which is itself a replacement for the default i3status in i3bar) that allows you to change your wallpaper. Each time the module is loaded (for example, when the i3bar is started), it will pick a random wallpaper amongst your library. You can also directly click on the module to change the wallpaper.

This module was made with high configurability in mind, and you can tweak several parameters, such as:

  • the folders which will be scanned for wallpapers;
  • the buttons used to trigger a new change;
  • the command used to set the wallpaper (by default, uses feh);
  • an optional list of ignored files;
  • and others…
