[Solved] Hotkey command to randomly change wallpaper in LM16

[RytronII]

Hi.

Has anyone got a hotkey command to randomly change wallpaper in Linux Mint 16?

I used to use this in previous releases but it no longer works now. mateconftool seems to be gone.

Code: Select all

bash -c 'mateconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/mate/background/picture_filename "$(find ~/Documents/Wallpaper -type f | shuf -n1)"'

Hi!
Try gsettings

Code: Select all

bash -c 'gsettings set  org.mate.background picture-filename "$(find ~/Documents/Wallpaper -type f | shuf -n1)"'

Sweet! Works a treat.

Thank you LinAk59.
