setwp

A command line utility to set the same wallpaper settings for every space and desktop on OS X Yosemite and up.

Installation

There are 3 ways to install.

1. As any other Go package : go get github.com/alexcormier/setwp.

2. With Homebrew : brew install alexcormier/personal/setwp.

3. Download the binary.

Completion

If you want command completion, make sure you have installed the bash-completion or zsh-completions package, depending on your shell.

If you installed with Homebrew, bash and zsh completion scripts are automatically installed; else you'll have to install them manually.

bash

Drop the setwp-completion.bash file in ~/.bash_completion, /etc/bash_completion.d, or any other directory that gets sourced automatically.

zsh

Put the setwp-completion.zsh file in a folder that's in your fpath. To check what folders are in your fpath, run echo $fpath. To add a directory to your fpath, add fpath+="<directory>" to ~/.zshrc.

Limitations

• When setting wallpaper to a directory, spaces and desktops are not synced. Having them in sync is outside the scope of this project, as setwp changes wallpaper settings for all spaces and lets the OS change the actual wallpaper.
• When setting wallpaper to a directory, the search for images is not recursive. Only the images directly in the given directory will be used, not those in subdirectories.
