OS X Background Changer

A simple ruby script which can change your desktop background every day.

How it works

This is a really simple ruby script which changes the background on the desktop. It uses appscript to do the work. It happens once a day using launchd.

Installation

Prerequisits

Install appscript using rubygems.

sudo gem install rb-appscript

Clone/Fork

Clone or fork this repository.

Get some images

Get some desktop images. I recommend 365 so you have one for every day of the year. Put them inside the images folder. Then run the renameimages.rb script.

Run the rake script

Rune rake install. That'll setup the script with launchd. You should see your background change immediately. If it didn't something went wrong.
