A background image grabber for GNOME from nasa's image of the day site
This app will fetch the latest image from nasapod, http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ and create a background image from it with a description box for a gnome desktop. Read desktop_nasa.py file for configurations and instructions! Python script.
Now working with Ubuntu 12.04 and prior
wig is a simple web image grabber. Wig uses wget to download an image from the web and display it on your desktop; updating the image every X seconds. Written using C and GTK+. Have fun wiggin' out :)
