In windows there are many wallpaper managers but I think its difficult to find for Linux.
I have tried variety wallpaper changer but its not working properly.
Actually my intention is I want an app that will change wallpapers on the popular desktops like GNOME, KDE, xfce and lxde and so can you please suggest the app.

Hi
I’m assuming your using my variety package? In what way is it not
working properly, specifically the GNOME DE?
You could write a script to automate changes if there is a specific set
of wallpapers your wanting to use, in GNOME AFAIK, you can create an
xml file to do this as well, look at the ones available by default and
make your own?

In variety app I have added a folder /usr/share/backgrounds to which I have added some wallpapers previously.
I have followed the above procedure for root account and it worked and after rebooting the system it is not at all working.
I have followed the same procedure for non root account and it is not at all working.
Variety app is not working I mean it is showing the same wallpaper all the times.
During installation I selected 1 click install and during the process I got warning message as nothing provides
Python-pillow for variety then I selected the option break the dependencies. Even I have installed Python pillow app but no use.
As I don’t know the internals of variety so can you please suggest how to use.****

Hi
Make sure you install the version of python-pillow from;
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/python/openSUSE_13.1/
Open a terminal as your user and run;
variety
Do you see errors?

Hi,
Also you do not select break dependencies and expect a package to work. 
I only done that when installing a package with zypper with the -d flag which means dowload only
installing a package in linux is always difficult for example I have tried to install the package python pillow and it is replying that python imaging conflicts with it and when I try to remove python imaging the package manager is replying that there are many dependencies and the sequence continue endless I think. I am providing the output below

Hi
You would need to talk to the cinnamon folks about building the
python-imaging or using their repo on OBS to build variety.

Depending on how badly you want this app, I see several possible approaches, I’ll list some that come to my mind in the order I believe is practical…
At http://software.opensuse.org/package/python-Pillow
I see that a version 2.5.3 was compiled for OpenStack. I’d guess that if there are improvements that version will run on “non-OpenStack” just fine so is worth trying.
Another possible try is that since it appears that you have a more modern version of the library file already installed, you can try installing while “breaking dependencies” – Maybe it’ll work, maybe not.
From your post, it does appear that a third try which is to install an older version likely leads you down a rathole of replacing additional dependencies with older versions.
I don’t know if the older file was distributed as part of an older version of python, if so another option could be to install the older python and then using something like pyenv run the app… But this is probably an approach someone more experienced with manipulating python environments than me might detail.

Unfortunately kde isn’t configurable enough for me 
if you want to know what configurability is try enlightenment More specifically kde doesn’t allow you to change between virtual desktops on 1 screen without also changing the virtual desktop on all the other screens.
This program claims to work with enlightenment so i thought i’d try it out as i was planning on adding similar functionality sometime anyway
Can any of you develop a new app ie., wallpaper changer and place it in yast.
Yes, it is installed but I still get this error. Any other ideas?

Hi
Hmmm, can you post the output from;
zypper se -i WebKit
I have six libs, two typelibs the python and injected-bundles
installed containing webkit.

Hi
I would guess it’s missing libwebkit2gtk-4_0-37 and
typelib-1_0-WebKit2-4_0 or typelib-1_0-WebKit-3_0 (try installing this
one first).
