Re: set an image as desktop wallpaper on I3
I used a terminal program for that. Then I added the command to i3 config.
Its called feh and nitrogen is another option.
If you want it in i3 config
For a random wallpaper
For nitrogen
Its called feh and nitrogen is another option.
Code: Select all
feh --bg-fill /home/foo/image.png
Code: Select all
exec --no-startup-id feh --bg-scale /path/to/image`
Code: Select all
feh --randomize --bg-fill ~/Pictures/*
Code: Select all
exec --no-startup-id nitrogen --restore
