Basic gtk3 wallpaper setter

Placeholder. Working on this now, simple replacement for Nitrogen in gtk3 and C.
Smaller and faster, using xwallpaper for the backend.

Re: Basic gtk3 wallpaper setter

Very rough still, got a lot of work to do yet on the UI and some function behavior, but it's working.

Subscribing.....

I thought this might be something you'd like Can I get you to test the beta when it's ready?

Re: Basic gtk3 wallpaper setter

Sweet, thanks! Yeah I love Nitrogen, been using it for like a decade but with Debian threatening to remove gtk2 i'm just trying to get out ahead of that. The only thing this first beta won't have is the ability to use multiple monitors independently, for now it will just use the same chosen wallpaper for all monitors, once I get it dialed in properly i'll add multi-monitor specific options as xwallpaper has that capability and works well with it.

Re: Basic gtk3 wallpaper setter

Almost there, I decided to go ahead and implement multi-monitor choices, so now you can set all monitors to the same paper, or set them individually or make one big panoramic span across all. Just a little work left today on storing the new multi-monitors properly so the restore function works 100% on multi-setups. I say a "little" work but you never know...;)

How's it going? I haven't found the source on your sourceforge yet.

Re: Basic gtk3 wallpaper setter

Sorry! I got sidetracked first with a tooth infection that knocked me out for a few days, then swamped with other things, today though I got 2 priorities, finishing this up and investigating Void to see about getting AlsaTune to work in it. Can't promise anything though 'cause I gotta mow the lawn too and help the wife down at the library as well, busy day for me!
