# Styli.sh - Wallpaper switching on feh made easy
Stily.sh is a Bash script that aims to automate the tedious process of finding new wallpapers, downloading and switching them via the i3 config. **Styly.sh** can search for specific wallpapers from unsplash or download
a random image from the specified subreddits. If you have pywal it also can set automatically your terminal colors.

## Requirements
This script is made to work with ```feh``` so having it installed is a requirement. Currently it does not support Desktop Environments. If you want to use the -p flag you will have to have ```pywal``` installed.
## Install
```
git clone https://github.com/thevinter/styli.sh
cd styli.sh
./styli.sh
```
## Usage
```
# To set a random 1920x1080 background
$ ./styli.sh
# To specify a desired width or height
$ ./styli.sh -w 1080 -h 720
$ ./styli.sh -w 2560
$ ./styli.sh -h 1440
# To set a wallpaper based on a search term
$ ./styli.sh -s island
$ ./styli.sh -s sea -w 1080
# To get a random wallpaper from one of the set subreddits
# NOTE: The width/height/search parameters DON't work with reddit
$ ./styli.sh -l reddit
# To get a random wallpaper from a custom subreddit
$ ./styli.sh -r <custom_reddit>
$ ./styli.sh -r wallpaperdump
# To use the builtin feh --bg options
$ ./styli.sh -b <option>
$ ./styli.sh -b bg-scale -r widescreen-wallpaper
# To add custom feh flags
$ ./styli.sh -c <flags>
$ ./styli.sh -c --no-xinerama -r widescreen-wallpaper
# To automatically set the terminal colors
$ ./styli.sh -p
```
## Tips And Tricks
To set a new background every time you reboot your computer add the following to your ```i3/config``` file (or any other WM config)
```
exec_always path/to/script/styli.sh
```
To change background every hour launch the following command
```
crontab -e
```
and add the following to the opened file
```
@hourly path/to/script/styli.sh
```
## Custom subreddits
To manage custom subreddits just edit the ```subreddits``` file by placing there all your desired communities, one for each newline
