GradientWallpaper

A Python 3.5 function to generate two-colour gradient wallpapers. The function takes two colours (expressed as hexadecimal triplets), the screen resolution, and the gradient direction (vertical or horizontal), and makes a .png.

Requirements

This script was written using Python 3.5, and needs numpy and matplotlib.

Installation

Put GradientWallpaper.py in your wallpaper directory.

Usage

From a Python console, call

GradientWallpaper(hex1='ff0000', hex2='0000ff', size=[1920,1080], type='v', dir='')

Where

• hex1 - A string of a hexadecimal triplet representing the first colour. Default is hex1='ff0000'.
• hex2 - A string of a hexadecimal triplet representing the second colour. Default is hex1='0000ff'.
• size - The dimensions of the wallpaper, expressed as a two-element list. Default is [1920,1080].
• type - Whether to generate a vertical ('v') or a horizontal ('h') gradient. Default is 'v'.
• dir - A path, relative to the present working directory, to save the images. Default is '' (same as pwd).

An example script is included, to demonstrate usage.
