[Feature] Customizable/Shorter slideshow time window #1007

It would be cool to have a box to type how many minutes or seconds between each slideshow wallpaper shuffle, or maybe just some shorter options in the dropdown. I personally like my slideshows to be a minute between swaps, but the lowest I can currently do via the GUI is 5 minutes.

I agree, 5 minutes is way too long for some people. I get noticeable image retention on my OLED laptop if I use a static wallpaper for that long.

Edit: You can set the time below 5 minutes if you change rotation_frequency (in seconds) in: ~/.config/cosmic/com.system76.CosmicBackground/v1/all The filename will be different if you use per display wallpapers, e.g output.HDMI-A-1 instead of all

rotation_frequency will reset if you go into the wallpaper section in cosmic-settings

Thank you so much! I was looking for the dot file to change this
