Desktop Drapes for GNOME
The latest “series†of articles for Linux here on Ghacks revolves around beautifying your desktop…specifically, desktop wallpaper. The first article was all about Managing wallpaper in GNOME. I wanted to continue that particular subject by introducing a simple little tool (that hasn't actually been updated since 2008 – but still works like a champ) called Desktop Drapes. This tool allows you to setup a group of images to be used as your desktop backgound. Desktop Drapes can cycle through those wallpapers, changing them at a user-defined period. Desktop Drapes is ideal for those who like to change their wallpaper frequently and would like to set this up to be done automatically.
And although Desktop Drapes hasn't been updated in some time, the application will still work on recent releases. In fact, I have it working on Ubuntu 10.04. In this article I will show you how to install and use Desktop Drapes
