Alpha
Experimental script to replicate MacOS Mojave's dynamic wallpapers feature
Uses Sunrise-Sunset api to get the sunrise and sunset times of current location received by the LocateMe command line tool
LocateMe is a Public Domain command-line tool that lets you find your location (latitude, longitude, etc) using Apple's geolocation services.
The wallpapers were extracted from the HEIC file from the Mojave beta
A cronjob is set up to ensure the script runs at intervals to be able to change the wallpaper
#Set Up
-
Download and extract the zip containing all the wallpaper files extract it directly or copy it to the directory /Users//Pictures/Wallpapers create the Wallpapers directory if it doesn't exist, the pictures should be in the mojave_dynamic directory
-
Download the github repo as zip and place all files in the above Wallpapers directory
-
Last we need to set up a corn job
Start the terminal and the use nano to edit thejob list like so
'''env EDITOR=nano crontab -e'''
Then write
'''*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/osascript ~/Pictures/Wallpapers/Dynamic_Wallpapers1.3.scpt
and press control + o and then enter to write to the file and then control + x to exit out of nano
and we're done, Advantage of this is with minor tweaking we can use custom wallpapers too which Apple being Apple won't give us the option to.
will be working on making it so that even the minor tweaking is not needed for customisability
