wallpape.rs

This Rust library gets and sets the desktop wallpaper/background.

The supported desktops are:

• Windows
• macOS
• GNOME
• KDE
• Cinnamon
• Unity
• Budgie
• XFCE
• LXDE
• MATE
• Deepin
• Most Wayland compositors (set only, requires swaybg)
• i3 (set only, requires feh)

Examples

use wallpape_rs as wallpaper;

fn main() {
    // Returns the wallpaper of the current desktop.
    println!("{:?}", wallpaper::get());
    // Sets the wallpaper for the current desktop from a file path.
    wallpaper::set_from_path("/usr/share/backgrounds/gnome/adwaita-day.png").unwrap();
    // Sets the wallpaper style.
    wallpaper::set_mode(wallpaper::Mode::Crop).unwrap();
    // Returns the wallpaper of the current desktop.
    println!("{:?}", wallpaper::get());
}

If you want to set an image as background via an URL, make sure you activated the from_url feature of the wallpaper crate on Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
wallpape-rs = { version = "1.0.0", features = ["from_url"] }

Then, on your main.rs:

use wallpape_rs as wallpaper;

fn main() {
    // Returns the wallpaper of the current desktop.
    println!("{:?}", wallpaper::get());
    // Sets the wallpaper for the current desktop from a URL.
    wallpaper::set_from_url("https://source.unsplash.com/random").unwrap();
    // Returns the wallpaper of the current desktop.
    println!("{:?}", wallpaper::get());
}
