[Slackbuilds-users] Wallpaper directories

[Petar Petrov]

hi Niki,

my slack-wallpapers.SlackBuild script places the images in /usr/share/wallpapers and then creates symlinks to /usr/share/backgrounds/xfce. I chose /usr/share/wallpapers, because both Xscreensaver and KDE find the pictures there by default. Later I realised it would be nice for XFCE users to have them displayed in the Desktop Settings previw window. So, the images are symlinked there.

I was thinking to add an option to the script to create symlinks that can work similarly for MATE.

bye

Petar

Hi,

Now that my MLED desktop is running nicely, I've decided to share some
of my original SlackBuild scripts with SlackBuilds.org. I have a few
questions on packaging details. First things first.

The Elementary OS distribution has a very nice set of wallpapers. I've
packaged these specifically for my Xfce-based desktop
(http://www.microlinux.fr/slackware/desktop-14.1-source/xfce/luna-wallpapers/).
But I guess folks who build the package from an SBo package will be
running all kinds of different desktop environments.

Here's the various wallpaper locations I've identified so far:

        * /usr/share/xfce4/backdrops
        * /usr/share/backgrounds
        * /usr/share/wallpapers

Each desktop environment (Xfce, KDE, MATE, ...) has his own "default"
wallpaper place, meaning the collection of wallpapers display nicely in
a preview window when installed there.

I think (correct me if I'm wrong) that the best solution would be to

1. Install all wallpapers to, say, /usr/share/xfce4/backdrops.

2. Create symlinks to /usr/share/backgrounds and /usr/share/wallpapers.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Niki
