Snapshot Wallpaper

This project is a simple tool that generates an image using JavaScript (utilizing a canvas) and sets it as the system wallpaper on Ubuntu 20.04. The process runs in a loop at regular intervals (default: every 15 minutes, configurable).

How It Works

The project consists of:

• main.sh: This shell script triggers the generation of a PNG image using the JavaScript code and sets it as the system wallpaper. It's designed to loop and repeat this process at specified intervals.
• index.js: Contains the code responsible for generating the image using the canvas.
• Startup Configuration: The main.sh script can be configured to run at system startup by adding it to the startup applications list manually.
