Script for Changing Wallpapers based on TOD

[ikjot-2605]

Description

Main aim here is to write a script to change wallpapers on the home screen of an Ubuntu(any Debian-based Linux Distro), based on the time of day. Any scripting language can be used for this task - Eg: python, bash, Ruby, etc. As soon as user switches on his/her system a wallpaper should be displayed that corresponds to current TOD, and should be updated as the day progresses. Special task : Figure out the crontab config (if required) for above script, if any is needed.

Hey @ikjot-2605, I would like to work on this issue! Also by changing the wallpaper based on the time of day, how frequently do we want the wallpaper changed?
