linux desktop compatibility #26

Closed pathcl closed 8 years ago

Why not use Esetroot? its in eterm package (debian/ubuntu) and you forget about desktop compatibility. It supports them all (linux).

call(["Esetroot", "-s", output_file])

I tried it on Ubuntu 15.10 and it failed to change. Nothing happened until I tried to change my wallpaper to another one, then it changed but right after I got an crash message from Ubuntu.
