1 简介

在电脑桌面设置一组可以定时更换的壁纸已经不是什么新奇的功能了。比如，Windows 7、KDE桌面环境都可以实现这样的效果。可是，自己目前使用的Debian系统并未安装KDE、GNOME这样的桌面环境，只是简单的X视窗系统与Sawfish窗口管理。因此，要想实现加载壁纸并定时更换的功能就需要另想办法了。经过一番思考与编程，我现在可以用如下一系列脚本程序来完成这个任务：

get_img_size.sh ：调用 identify 命令显示图片信息并使用 gawk 命令从中提取出图片的尺寸。
set_wallpaper.sh ：调用 xloadimage 程序，加载单张图片作为壁纸。其中，该脚本会调用 get_img_size.sh 以获取该图片的尺寸，并根据指定的屏幕大小与其所在位置，对该图片进行适当的缩放与平移，使其显示于屏幕中间，且保持原比例充满屏幕。
set_multi_wallpapers.sh ：读入包含壁纸图片列表的配置文件，以指定的时间间隔来调用 set_wallpaper.sh ，从而逐个将这些图片加载为壁纸。
gen_multi_wallpapers.sh ：根据指定的匹配模式，使用 find 命令列出匹配到的图片文件，并生成能被 set_multi_wallpapers.sh 使用的配置文件。

下面对上述脚本进行具体说明。

2 加载单张图片作为壁纸： set_wallpaper.sh

将图片作为壁纸显示是通过 xloadimage 命令来实现的。通常，可以按如下的方式使用它：

xloadimage -fullscreen -onroot -border black -zoom 100 -rotate 90 -at 0,0 image_file

其中， -fullscreen 与 -onroot 的使用就可以将图片作为壁纸显示而不是被放到一个窗口里。其余的命令行选项的含义都是不言自明的。 set_wallpaper.sh 脚本程序并不是简单地调用 xloadimage ，其还会根据图片的大小与屏幕尺寸计算出 -zoom 选项的值，从而自动缩放图片，使其恰好完整地填满屏幕。此外，若电脑连接有多个显示器，可以通过设置 set_wallpaper.sh 的 -x 与 -y 选项来指定待加载壁纸屏幕左上角的坐标，以及设置 -W 与 -H 选项来指定该屏幕的宽和高。最终，图片就会只在该屏幕上显示了。

set_wallpaper.sh 的源码如下：

#!/bin/bashscript_name="set_wallpaper.sh"
script_usage=$(cat <<EOF
$script_name [OPTION] image_file
EOF
)
script_function=$(cat <<EOF

-r Set the rotation angle of the image.
-W Screen width.
-H Screen height.
-x X position of the image to be loaded onto root screen.
-y Y position of the image to be loaded onto root screen.
EOF
)
script_examples=$(cat <<EOF

#!/bin/bashif [ -n "$1" ]; then
identify "$1" | gawk '{if(match($0, /([[:digit:]]+)x([[:digit:]]+)/, res) != 0) print res[0];}'
else

exit 1

3 定时加载多张壁纸： set_multi_wallpapers.sh

通过 -s 选项，可以指定配置文件，其由该脚本读入后以默认的时间间隔60秒或由 -t 选项指定的时间间隔来逐个显示列表中的图片。配置文件的格式如下：

# Configuration file storing list of images to be loaded onto root screen as wallpapers.# Description of data columns (columns are separated by TAB):
# Column 1: Absolute path to image
# Column 2: Rotation angle applied to the image
# Column 3: X position of the image to be loaded onto the root screen
# Column 4: Y position of the image to be loaded onto the root screen/home/orlando/Pictures/wallpapers/Windows 10 wallpapers/02 - wqQXJGJ.jpg 0 1280 0

set_multi_wallpapers.sh 脚本内容如下：

#!/bin/bashscript_name="set_multi_wallpapers.sh"
script_usage=$(cat <<EOF

4 生成多张壁纸配置文件： gen_multi_wallpapers.sh

该脚本可以在指定的目录下（第一个参数），根据指定的正则表达式（第二个参数）来搜索出匹配的图片文件，然后将其按上述配置文件的格式显示出来。脚本内容如下：

#!/bin/bashscript_name="gen_multi_wallpapers.sh"
script_usage=$(cat <<EOF
$script_name [OPTION] path_name regex_pattern
EOF
)
script_function=$(cat <<EOF
Generate configuration for a list of wallpaper images.
EOF
)
script_doc=$(cat <<EOF
-h Display this help.
-c Display the comment for configuration file.
-x X position of the image to be loaded onto root screen.
-y Y position of the image to be loaded onto root screen.
EOF
)
script_examples=$(cat <<EOF
$script_name -x 1280 ./ "\$.*jpg\$\\|\$.*JPG\$"
EOF
)
state_prefix="==="
warning_prefix="***"
error_prefix="!!!"function display_help() {

y_pos=0
comment_string=$(cat <<EOF

EOF
)
is_display_comment=0# Process command options
while getopts ":chx:y:" opt; do
case $opt in
x ) x_pos=$OPTARG ;;
y ) y_pos=$OPTARG ;;
c ) is_display_comment=1 ;;
h ) display_help
exit 0 ;;
\? ) display_help
exit 1 ;;
esac
done
shift $(($OPTIND - 1))# Start execute the command
if [ -n "$1" ] && [ -n "$2" ]; then
if [ "$is_display_comment" = 1 ]; then
echo -e "$comment_string\n"
fi gawk_cmd=`echo "gawk '{print \\$0\"\\t0\\t$x_pos\\t$y_pos\"}'"`
find "$1" -regex "$2" -print0 | xargs -n 1 -0 fullpath.sh | eval "$gawk_cmd"
else
