Animated Wallpaper Adds Live Backgrounds To Linux Distros
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
**We know a lot of you love having a stylish Ubuntu desktop to show off.**
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Live Wallpaper
|
||||
|
||||
And as Linux makes it so easy to create a stunning workspace with a minimal effort, that’s understandable!
|
||||
|
||||
Today, we’re highlighting — [re-highlighting][2] for those of you with long memories — a free, open-source tool that can add extra bling your OS screenshots and screencasts.
|
||||
|
||||
It’s called **Live Wallpaper** and (as you can probably guess) it will replace the standard static desktop background with an animated alternative powered by OpenGL.
|
||||
|
||||
And the best bit: it can be installed in Ubuntu very easily.
|
||||
|
||||
### Animated Wallpaper Themes ###
|
||||
|
||||
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/animated-wallpaper-ubuntu-750x383.jpg)
|
||||
|
||||
Live Wallpaper is not the only app of this type, but it is one of the the best.
|
||||
|
||||
It comes with a number of different themes out of the box.
|
||||
|
||||
These range from the subtle (‘noise’) to frenetic (‘nexus’), and caters to everything in between. There’s even the obligatory clock wallpaper inspired by the welcome screen of the Ubuntu Phone:
|
||||
|
||||
- Circles — Clock inspired by Ubuntu Phone with ‘evolving circle’ aura
|
||||
- Galaxy — Spinning galaxy that can be resized/repositioned
|
||||
- Gradient Clock — A polar clock overlaid on basic gradient
|
||||
- Nexus — Brightly colored particles fire across screen
|
||||
- Noise — A bokeh design similar to the iOS dynamic wallpaper
|
||||
- Photoslide — Grid of photos from folder (default ~/Photos) animate in/out
|
||||
|
||||
Live Wallpaper is **fully open-source** so there’s nothing to stop imaginative artists with the know-how (and patience) from creating some slick themes of their own.
|
||||
|
||||
### Settings & Features ###
|
||||
|
||||
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/live-wallpaper-gui-settings.jpg)
|
||||
|
||||
Each theme can be configured or customised in some way, though certain themes have more options than others.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, in Nexus (pictured above) you can change the number and colour of the the pulse particles, their size, and their frequency.
|
||||
|
||||
The preferences app also provides a set of **general options** that will apply to all themes. These include:
|
||||
|
||||
- Setting live wallpaper to run on log-in
|
||||
- Setting a custom background that the animation sits on
|
||||
- Adjusting the FPS (including option to show FPS on screen)
|
||||
- Specifying the multi-monitor behaviour
|
||||
|
||||
With so many options available it should be easy to create a background set up that suits you.
|
||||
|
||||
### Drawbacks ###
|
||||
|
||||
#### No Desktop Icons ####
|
||||
|
||||
You can’t add, open or edit files or folders on the desktop while Live Wallpaper is ‘On’.
|
||||
|
||||
The Preferences app does list an option that will, supposedly, let you do this. It may work on really older releases but in our testing, on Ubuntu 14.10, it does nothing.
|
||||
|
||||
One workaround that seems to work for some users of the app on Ubuntu is setting a .png image as the custom background. It doesn’t have to be a transparent .png, simply a .png.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Resource Usage ####
|
||||
|
||||
Animated wallpapers use more system resources than standard background images.
|
||||
|
||||
We’re not talking about 50% load at all times —at least not with this app in our testing— but those on low-power devices and laptops will want to use apps like this cautiously. Use a [system monitoring tool][2] to keep an eye on CPU and GPU load.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quitting the app ####
|
||||
|
||||
The biggest “bug” for me is the absolute lack of “quit” option.
|
||||
|
||||
Sure, the animated wallpaper can be turned off from the Indicator Applet and the Preferences tool but quitting the app entirely, quitting the indicator applet? Nope. To do that I have to use the ‘pkill livewallpaper’ command in the Terminal.
|
||||
|
||||
### How to Install Live Wallpaper in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS + ###
|
||||
|
||||
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/terminal-command-750x146.jpg)
|
||||
|
||||
To install Live Wallpaper in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and above you will first need to add the official PPA for the app to your Software Sources.
|
||||
|
||||
The quickest way to do this is using the Terminal:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fyrmir/livewallpaper-daily
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install livewallpaper
|
||||
|
||||
You should also install the indicator applet, which lets you quickly and easily turn on/off the animated wallpaper and switch theme from the menu area, and the GUI settings tool so that you can configure each theme based on your tastes.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install livewallpaper-config livewallpaper-indicator
|
||||
|
||||
When everything has installed you will be able to launch the app and its preferences tool from the Unity Dash.
|
||||
|
||||
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/live-wallpaper-app-launcher.png)
|
||||
|
||||
Annoyingly, the Indicator Applet won’t automatically open after you install it. It does add itself to the start up list, so a quick log out > log in will get it to show.
|
||||
|
||||
### Summary ###
|
||||
|
||||
If you fancy breathing life into a dull desktop, give it a spin — and let us know what you think of it and what animated wallpapers you’d love to see added!

动态壁纸给linux发行版添加活力背景
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
**我们知道你想拥有一个有格调的ubuntu桌面来炫耀一下 :)**
|
||||
|
||||
![Live Wallpaper](http://i.imgur.com/9JIUw5p.gif)
|
||||

Live Wallpaper
|
||||
|
||||
在linxu上费一点点劲搭建一个出色的工作环境是很简单的。
|
||||
今天,我们着重来探讨[重新着重探讨][2]长驻你脑海中那些东西 - 一款自由,开源,能够给你的截图增添光彩的工具。
|
||||
|
||||
它叫 **Live Wallpaper** (正如你猜的那样) ,它用由OpenGL驱动的一款动态桌面背景来代替标准的静态桌面背景。
|
||||
|
||||
最好的一点是:在ubuntu上安装它很容易。
|
||||
|
||||
### 动态壁纸主题 ###
|
||||
|
||||
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/animated-wallpaper-ubuntu-750x383.jpg)
|
||||
|
||||
Live Wallpaper 不是此类软件唯一的一款,但它是最好的一款之一。
|
||||
|
||||
它附带很多不同的开箱即用的主题。
|
||||
|
||||
从精细的(‘noise’)到狂热的 (‘nexus’),包罗万象,甚至有受到Ubuntu Phone欢迎屏幕启发的obligatory锁屏壁纸。
|
||||
|
||||
- Circles — 带着‘evolving circle’风格的时钟,灵感来自于Ubuntu Phone
|
||||
- Galaxy — 支持自定义大小,位置的星系
|
||||
- Gradient Clock — 覆盖基本梯度的时钟
|
||||
- Nexus — 亮色粒子火花穿越屏幕
|
||||
- Noise — 类似于iOS动态壁纸的Bokeh设计
|
||||
- Photoslide — 由文件夹(默认为 ~/Photos)内照片构成的动态网格相册
|
||||
|
||||
Live Wallpaper **完全开源** ,所以没有什么能够阻挡天马行空的艺术家用提供的做法(当然还有耐心)来创造他们自己的精美主题。
|
||||
|
||||
### 设置 & 特点 ###
|
||||
|
||||
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/live-wallpaper-gui-settings.jpg)
|
||||
|
||||
虽然某些主题与其它主题相比有更多的选项,但每款主题都可以通过某些方式来配置或者定制。
|
||||
|
||||
例如, Nexus主题中 (上图所示) 你可以更改脉冲粒子的数量,颜色,大小和出现频率。
|
||||
|
||||
首选项提供了 **通用选项** 适用于所有主题,包括:
|
||||
|
||||
- 设置登陆界面的动态壁纸
|
||||
- 自定义动画背景
|
||||
- 调节 FPS (包括在屏幕上显示FPS)
|
||||
- 指定多显示器行为
|
||||
|
||||
有如此多的选项,diy适用于你自己的桌面背景是很容易的。
|
||||
|
||||
### 缺陷 ###
|
||||
|
||||
#### 没有桌面图标 ####
|
||||
Live Wallpaper在运行时,你无法在桌面添加,打开或者是编辑文件和文件夹。
|
||||
|
||||
首选项程序提供了一个选项来让你这样做(只是猜测)。也许是它只能在老版本中使用,在我们的测试中-测试环境为Ununtu 14.10,它并没有用。
|
||||
在测试中发现当把桌面壁纸设置成格式为png的图片文件时,这个选项有用,不需要是透明的png图片文件,只要是png图片文件就行了。
|
||||
|
||||
#### 资源占用 ####
|
||||
|
||||
动态壁纸与标准的壁纸相比要消耗更多的系统资源。
|
||||
|
||||
我们并不是说任何时候都会消耗大量资源,但至少在我们的测试中是这样,所以低配置机器和笔记本用户要谨慎使用这款软件。可以使用 [系统监视器][2] 来追踪CPU 和GPU的负载。
|
||||
|
||||
#### 退出程序 ####
|
||||
|
||||
对我来说最大的“bug”绝对是没有“退出”选项。
|
||||
|
||||
当然,Sure, 动态壁纸可以通过托盘图标和首选项完全退出,那退出托盘图标呢?没办法。只能在终端执行命令‘pkill livewallpaper’。
|
||||
|
||||
### 怎么在 Ubuntu 14.04 LTS +上安装 Live Wallpaper ###
|
||||
|
||||
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/terminal-command-750x146.jpg)
|
||||
|
||||
要想在Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 和更高版本中安装 Live Wallpaper,你首先需要把官方PPA添加进你的软件源。
|
||||
最快的方法是在终端中执行下列命令:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fyrmir/livewallpaper-daily
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install livewallpaper
|
||||
|
||||
你还需要安装 indicator applet, 这样可以方便快速的打开或是关闭动态壁纸,从菜单选择主题,另外图形配置工具可以让你基于你自己的口味来配置每款主题。
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install livewallpaper-config livewallpaper-indicator
|
||||
|
||||
所有都安装好之后你就可以通过Unity Dash来启动它和它的首选项工具了。
|
||||
|
||||
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/live-wallpaper-app-launcher.png)
|
||||
|
||||
让人不爽的是,安装完成后,程序不会自动打开托盘图标,而仅仅将它自己加入自动启动项,所以,快速来个注消 > 登陆它就会出现啦。
|
||||
|
||||
### 总结 ###
|
||||
|
||||
如果你正处在无聊呆板的桌面中,幻想有一个更有活力的生活,不防试试。另外,告诉我们你想看到什么样的动态壁纸!
