# Dynamic-Wallpaper | ||
Get a new desktop background every time you start your computer. | ||
|
||
## How to Setup | ||
- Download the executable from the release section in a folder of choice. | ||
- Create a new file called config.ini and open it. | ||
- Type the following | ||
|
||
``` | ||
DOWNLOAD_LOCATION <image_download_location> | ||
QUERIES { <query>, <query> } | ||
``` | ||
- Set the image download location and queries for images as per your choice | ||
- Sample result looks like this | ||
``` | ||
DOWNLOAD_LOCATION "G:/My Photos/PC wallpapers/Dynamic Wallpaper/" | ||
QUERIES {"Nature", "Ocean", "Landscape", "Monsoon", "Night", "Mountains"} | ||
``` | ||
- Create a shortcut of the executable and copy it to the startup folders of windows programs. | ||
- Setup is complete, restart the PC to check if everything is working. | ||
|
||
## Basic Working | ||
When the app runs it selects a random query from the list provided by user. The it requests an image API for a corresponding image. It uses the WindowsAPI to set it | ||
as the wallpaper using Snap scaling. | ||
|
||
## Additional | ||
If you are not comfortable with having it run on startup, you can pin the app to start menu and run it manually when you want a new wallpaper. |
