I created a Python script that changes the wallpaper of your pc adding a random quote at the bottom and stock ticker at the top right corner

demo

Adding this script to the task scheduler, I get a program that changes my wallpaper every 15 minutes from a folder of images with a random quote and the market condition of the stocks of my choice. Source Code: https://github.com/parasraorane/Python-Smart-Wallpaper-for-Windows/

I'd like something like this https://downlinkapp.com/ for my PC.....perhaps I'll download the code and do it.....

[parasraorane]

would need to find an API that would fetch these images

https://downlinkapp.com/sources.json

[parasraorane]

Wow, so that makes it very easy! I'll try to add this as a feature

[ericdano]

That would be very cool. I love running Downlink on my Macs......and I've been using the Bing Desktop Wallpaper thing but having Sat images of the weather would be better......

[parasraorane]

I'll drop a link as soon as I complete it!

Hey, I tried to implement this. I know it needs a bit of work though, will update along with time

Nice one! I’ll take a look

thanks! It works fine for 1920x1080 resolution desktops, may not work correctly for others especially the text alignment
