Set a Real Time Photo of Earth as Your Linux Desktop Wallpaper
|
|||
|
|
=================================================================

Bored of looking at the same desktop background? Here’s something that’s (almost) out of this world.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
‘[Himawaripy][1]‘ is a small Python 3 script that fetches a near-real time picture of Earth taken by the [Japanese Himawari 8 weather satellite][2] and sets it as your desktop background.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Once installed you can set the app to run as a cron job every 10 minutes (in the background, naturally) so that it can fetch and set a realtime picture of Earth as your desktop wallpaper.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Because Himawari-8 is a geostationary satellite you’re only ever going to images of the earth as seen from above Australasia — but with real time weather patterns, cloud formations and lighting it’s still makes for spectacular scene, even if seeing things above the UK would be better for me!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Advanced settings allow you to configure the quality of the images pulled from the satellite , but keep in mind that any increase in quality will result in an increased file size, and a longer download wait!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Lastly, while this script is very similar to many others that we’ve covered over the years it is up-to-date and working.
|
|||

|
Get Himawaripy
|
|||
|
|
Himawaripy has been tested on a range of desktop environments, including Unity, LXDE, i3, MATE and a host of other desktop environments. It is free, open-source software but is not entirely straightforward to set up and configure.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Find all instructions on getting the app installed and set up (hint: there’s no one-click installer) on the project’s GitHub page.
