Beautiful background pictures on OpenBSD

NIL=> https://bsd.network/@solenepercent/104201811289047763 Comment on Mastodon

While the title may appear quite strange, the article is about installing a

package to have a new random wallpaper everytime you start the X session!

First, you need to install a package named `openbsd-backgrounds` which is quite

large with a size of 144 MB. This package made by Marc Espie contains lot of

pictures shot by some OpenBSD developers.

You can automatically set a picture as a background when xenodm start and

prompt for your username by uncommenting a few lines in the file

`/etc/X11/xenodm/Xsetup_0`:

Uncomment this part

if test -x /usr/local/bin/openbsd-wallpaper

then

/usr/local/bin/openbsd-wallpaper

fi

The command `openbsd-wallpaper` will display a different random picture on

every screen (if you have multiples screen connected) every time you run it.
