I don't know, people's comps might be slow (it takes some time to re-size the
picture once an hour (a few secs on my machine, but it can be longer on
slower ones)), people may not want to use Fedora's background, etc...
However, we can make a package of the script and the pictures but not activate
them by default.
Here are the steps:
1. Create a new folder and call it Infinity.
2. Download all the pictures in
http://people.redhat.com/duffy/artwork/infinity-24/ to that folder (they
should be 24 png files).
3. Download the script from
http://ljuwaida.fedorapeople.org/Artwork/Infinity/KDE/Wallpaper/infinity and
put it in the same folder.
4. If you want to install it for yourself only then copy the folder you
created to ~/.kde/share/wallpapers (if it doesn't exist, create it), if you
want to install it for all the users, then copy it to /usr/share/wallpapers
instead, but you have to be the root.
5. To change your background, right click on your desktop and click Configure
Desktop, click on No Picture, then click on Advanced Options.
6. In the window that opens, click on add.
7. In the name field, enter Infinity, in the command field enter
~/.kde/share/wallpapers/Infinity/infinity %x %y %f ,
or /user/share/wallpapers/Infinity/infinity %x %y %f , depending on where you
installed it.
8. Put the same line in Preview cmd, and put
~/.kde/share/wallpapers/Infinity/infinity
or /user/share/wallpapers/Infinity/infinity in Executable, and set the
Refresh time to 60 min.
9. Click on OK, OK, then OK.
Cheers!
