I don't believe mate has a native wallpaper changer in the default install neither does gnome 3.
But one alternative that I've found works pretty well is variety you can get it by following the instructions on this page.

Dear,
Within the Cinamon DE, you can change the wallpaper and even to let change it every x minutes ...
You can import your own pictures, folders, ...
Within System Settings ... Background ...
Kind regards,

Re: Wallpaper Changer - where is it?
Tried Variety via PPA and found it to be good. There's a few broken web image sources (for me at this moment) and the (non-slideshow) wallpaper cycling appears to be (regrettably) random only but the app has a ton of other options, including the CLI options while the app is running so if you don't like the current wallpaper you can (for exaple) bind something like "ctrl+delete" in your MATE keyboard shutcuts tokc1di wrote:Hello overkill22 and welcome to Linux Mint,overkill22 wrote:I would like to change the wallpaper automatically, but I'm not able to find where I can set the folder etc...

I opened the same file with LO normally and didn't find a multitude of Chinese characters as opened in xed. Perhaps a character encoding bug in xed?ostracized wrote: Btw, did anyone notice anything "unusual" in~/.config/variety/scripts/set_wallpaper
