# Usage | ||
The script is very simple to use. Simply type: | ||
|
||
`wallpaper-reddit [subreddits]` | ||
|
||
If no subreddits are specified, the script will default to the top image from the subs section of the config file. There are many, many more options, all of which you can see by typing: | ||

||
# Configuration | ||
The config file is in `~/.config/wallpaper-reddit`, and will be created automatically. Currently, the GNOME, XFCE, MATE, Unity, and Cinnamon Desktop Environments should be automatically detected and the program should set the wallpaper without any extra work. However, due to the varying nature of window managers, it is possible, even likely, that you may have to specify a custom command to set your wallpaper. The program will prompt you for this if this is the case; the exact command can be researched per desktop environment. If your desktop environment is not supported, please file an issue so that automatic support can be implemented for others. | ||
### Config Options: | ||
- `minwidth` and `minheight` set the minimum dimensions the program will consider a valid candidate for a wallpaper. If `--resize` is enabled, the script will resize the image to those dimensions before setting the wallpaper. | ||
- `maxlinks` is the maximum number of links the script will go through before giving up. | ||
- `resize` does the same thing as the `--resize` flag. It is enabled by default. | ||
- `random` does the same thing as the `--random` flag. | ||

# Overlay Titles | ||
The program has an option to overlay the title of the image directly onto the image itself, so using conky to constantly read the title of the image from `~/.wallpaper/title.txt` is no longer necessary (although it still works, and is recommended if not using the "resize" option). This function is not enabled by default, but it can be enabled with either the `--settitle` command line flag or more permanently in the config under the `[Title Overlay]` section. There are five options for setting titles: size, x/y alignment, and x/y offset. | ||

- random does the same thing as the --random flag. | ||
### Overlay Title Configuration Options | ||
Options for the overlay title can only be set in the config file. They are under the [Title Overlay] section. | ||
- `titlesize` sets the font height at which the title will be rendered, in pixels. | ||
- `titlealignx` sets the horizontal alignment of the title, and can be either `left`, `center` or `right`. | ||
- `titlealigny` sets the vertical alignment, and can be `top` or `bottom`. | ||
- `titleoffsetx` and `titleoffsety` allow you to set an additional offset from the edge of the image, in pixels. | ||
|
||
#Startup | ||
If wallpaper-reddit is run with the --startup flag, the program will wait on an internet connection. Options for the startup can only be set in the config file. They are under the [Startup] section: interval and attempts. The script will try to make a connection to reddit.com up to $attempts times at every $interval seconds. For example, the default setting is an interval of 3 and 10 attempts, so the script will try to connect to reddit every 3 seconds for up to 10 tries, giving a total of 30 seconds before the scrpit gives up. As a reminder, this feature is only activated by the --startup flag | ||
# Startup | ||
If wallpaper-reddit is run with the `--startup` flag, the program will wait on an internet connection. Once startup is activated, the script will try to connect to Reddit to download new wallpaper upon startup. The default setting is an interval of 3 and 10 attempts, which means that the script will try to connect to Reddit every 3 seconds for up to 10 tries, giving a total of 30 seconds before the script gives up. | ||

#Overlay Titles | ||
The program has an option to overlay the title of the image directly onto the image itself, so using conky to constantly read the title of the image from ~/.wallpaper/title.txt is no longer nexessary (although it still works, and is recommended if not using the "resize" option). This function is not enabled by default, but it can be enabled with either the --settitle command line flag or more permanently in the config under the "Title Overlay" section. There are five options for setting titles: size, x/y alignment, and x/y offset. The size (titlesize) is the height of the text in pixels. To set where the title is aligned (replaces titlegravity) titlealignx can be left, center, or right; titlealigny can be top or bottom. To offset the title slightly, titleoffsetx and titleoffsety are offsets from the edge of the screen in pixels. All of these options can only be set in the config file. | ||
### Startup Configuration Options | ||
Options for the startup can only be set in the config file. They are under the [Startup] section. | ||
- `interval` describes the amount of time, in seconds, between wallpaper-reddit's attempts to procure new wallpaper. | ||
- `attempts` describes the number of attempts that will be made to connect to Reddit. After this number of attempts has failed, wallpaper-reddit will cease to try downloading wallpaper during the current startup. | ||
|
||
#Saving | ||
If wallpaper-reddit is run with the --save flag, no wallpaper will be downloaded. The current wallpaper will be copied to the save directory, as specified in the config file (default is ~/Pictures/Wallpapers on Linux, ~/My Pictures/Wallpapers on Windows), and its title will be put into a titles.txt file inside the same directory. | ||

||
#Blacklists | ||
There is a function to blacklist a certain wallpaper from the script if it is particularly ugly. Simply run the script with the --blacklist flag. The script will run as usual, but additionally blacklist your current wallpaper. You'll get a new wallpaper and never see the old one again. | ||

#External commands and wallpaper info | ||
Because more information is always better, much more than the wallpaper itself exists in ~/.wallpaper. | ||
- blacklist.txt contains the urls of blacklisted wallpapers, one can manually add urls without issue. | ||
- url.txt is the url of the current wallpaper | ||
- title.txt is the title of the current wallpaper (useful if you want to put the title into conky) | ||
- external.sh is a bash script that is run at the end of every execution of the script (Linux only). Any extra commands to deal with the wallpaper can be safely placed in this bash script. I personally have mine darken my xfce4-panel if the wallpaper is too bright at the top, and set the wallpaper as my SLiM/xscreensaver background. | ||
