This program features a GUI to select the wallpapers diretory and the time interval. After that, you can run the wallpaper slideshow or add it to your system startup.
Standalone compiled version is available in the “Release” pane.
If you want to use the uncompiled version, you’ll need to install Python 3 libs :

sudo apt-get install python3-tk  
sudo pip3 install cx_Freeze    
sudo pip3 install ttkthemes    
sudo pip3 install notify2  

For now, it supports these desktop environments :

- Deepin Linux DDE
- GNOME
- Cinnamon
- Unity
- Ubuntu GNOME

If your desktop environment is GNOME-based and not listed above, contact me and I’ll try to add it !

How it works

It’s a Python-based UI made with TKinter.
The code sets wallpaper with gsettings.
When you choose to add the script to startup, it creates a .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart executing the program, which is stored to ~/.WallpaperSlideshow.
