Windows 10 Spotlight Background images for Gnome
Run systemctl --user enable spotlight.timer
to get a new picture every day.
To fetch a new background manually you can either use the desktop entry by looking for spotlight in your gnome application menu ([SUPER] spot... [ENTER]
) or trigger the service from command line with systemctl --user start spotlight.service
.
Use the system log to get the past image descriptions, e.g. for the the current background journalctl -t spotlight -n 1
.
Spotlight does not require particular configuration.
The default behavior of spotlight is to discard the previous image when it fetches a new one. This behavior can be alter from the command line:
In order to modify the behavior of the service systemctl edit --user spotlight.service
can be used to overwrite the program invocation:
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/env bash spotlight.sh -k -d %h/Pictures/Spotlight
Notifications can be controlled via the Gnome Control Center.
