## How to use
1. Create a directory with desired photos and note its full path
2. In that directory, rename your photos according to this table
*Suppose the filename is example.jpg*
|Accent Color |Suffix |Expected filename |
|--------------|-------|-------------------|
|Blue |blue |example-blue.jpg |
|Teal |teal |example-teal.jpg |
|Green |gree |example-gree.jpg |
|Yellow |yell |example-yell.jpg |
|Red |redd |example-redd.jpg |
|Pink |pink |example-pink.jpg |
|Purple |purp |example-purp.jpg |
|Slate |- |*any file without valid suffix above*|
*This means if there is no valid color suffix at the end of file name, we will set the accent color to Slate.*
3. In `change-wallpaper.py`, replace the `directory_path` with the path from step 1
4. Put `change-wallpaper.py` to `~/.local/bin` and make sure it is in your `$PATH`
5. In `change-wallpaper.service` replace `youruser` in `ExecStart` line with your actual username.
6. **Optionally**, modify `change-wallpaper.timer` as needed. The default is set to *every 15 minutes*.
7. Put `change-wallpaper.service` and `change-wallpaper.timer` in `~/.config/systemd/user/` and run these commands to get started
2. In that directory, append color codes to the files such as from `example.jpg` to `example-blue.jpg`. Possible color codes are `blue`, `teal`, `green`, `yellow`, `orange`, `red`, `pink` and `purple`. If other colors are set or there is no color code at all, we'll set the color to neutral `slate`.
3. Put `change-wallpaper.py` to `~/.local/bin` and make sure it is in your `$PATH`
4. In `change-wallpaper.service` replace `/path/to/dir` accordingly.
5. **Optionally**, modify `change-wallpaper.timer` as needed. The default is set to *every 15 minutes*.
6. Put `change-wallpaper.service` and `change-wallpaper.timer` in `~/.config/systemd/user/` and run these commands to get started
