Dynamic wallpaper theme

Live Wallpaper is not the only software of its kind, but it is one of the best.

It comes with many different out-of-the-box themes.

Everything from meticulous ('noise') to' nexus'', there are even obligatory lock screen wallpapers inspired by Ubuntu Phone welcome screen.

Circles-clock with 'evolving circle' style, inspired by Ubuntu Phone

Galaxy-rotating galaxies that support custom size and location

Gradient Clock-polar clock on the inclined plane

Nexus-sparks of brightly colored particles across the screen

Noise-Bokeh design similar to iOS dynamic wallpaper

Photoslide-A dynamic grid photo album made up of photos in a folder (default is ~ / Photos)

Live Wallpaper is completely open source, so nothing can stop flamboyant artists from creating their own exquisite themes with know-how (and, of course, patience).

Settings & Features

Although some topics have more options than others, each theme can be configured or customized in some way.

For example, in the Nexus theme (pictured above) you can change the number, color, size and frequency of pulsed particles.

Preferences provide common options for all topics, including:

Set the dynamic wallpaper of the login interface

Customize the animation background

Adjust FPS (including displaying FPS on screen)

Specify the behavior of multiple monitors

With so many options, diy is easy to apply to your own desktop background.

Defect

No desktop icon

While Live Wallpaper is running, you cannot add, open, or edit files and folders on your desktop.

The preferences program provides an option for you to do this (just guessing). Maybe it can only be used in older versions, in our test-the test environment is Ununtu 14.10, and it doesn't work. But in the test found that when the desktop wallpaper is set to png image file, this option is useful, do not need to be transparent png image file, as long as the png image file on the line.

Resource occupation

Dynamic wallpaper consumes more system resources than standard wallpaper.

We are not saying that it will consume a lot of resources at any time, but at least in our tests, so users of low-configuration machines and laptops should use this software with caution. You can use the system Monitor to track the load of CPU and GPU.

Exit the program

The biggest "bug" for me is that there is absolutely no "exit" option.

Of course, dynamic wallpaper can be completely exited through the tray icon and preferences, but what about the exit tray icon? No way out. The command 'pkill livewallpaper' can only be executed on the terminal.

How to install Live Wallpaper on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS+

To install Live Wallpaper in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and later, you first need to add the official PPA to your software source. The fastest way is to execute the following command in the terminal:

The code is as follows:

Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fyrmir/livewallpaper-daily

Sudo apt-get update & & sudo apt-get install livewallpaper

You also need to install indicator applet so that you can easily and quickly turn on or off dynamic wallpaper, select themes from the menu, and graphical configuration tools allow you to configure each theme according to your own taste.

The code is as follows:

Sudo apt-get install livewallpaper-config livewallpaper-indicator

Once all is installed, you can launch it and its preferred tools through Unity Dash.

Unhappily, after installation, the program does not automatically open the tray icon, but just adds itself to the auto-startup item, so a quick logout-> login will appear.

At this point, the study on "how to set up dynamic wallpaper to beautify the Ubuntu desktop" is over. I hope to be able to solve your doubts.
