One caveat is that the script pulls its 'data' from a US-based soruce, meaning if you live anywhere else you'll likely find poster for movies that aren'y yet released in your country. With that thought under our belts, let's proceed.
Requirements:
- wget
- ruby
- imagemagick
The first two will be installed by default, but you may (for some reason) not have imagemagick installed. This can be got using: -
- sudo apt-get install imagemagick
- Download the script from here and extract somewhere accessible.
- Right click the 'imploader.rb' script, go to 'properties > permissions' and make the script 'executable'
- Right click the 'imploader.rb' script again, this time choosing 'Open with gedit'.
- You need to set the following information: location to store wallpaper, wallpaper height & width and the style you want to choose.
The three styles are as follows, simply replace the number in the script with the one you wish to use: -Now run the script by either double-clicking on it or via the terminal using './imploader.rb'- Once done, navigate to the directory where you chose to save it and set it as your wallpaper!
