A script that uses XPlanet and ImageMagick to create beautiful wallpaper images. It can dynamically composite the image of Earth, Moon, some fancy borders and glow lights on top or next to a chosen background image. The output of the script is a plain .jpg or .png file that can be used as a wallpaper by any window manager. The output looks like there are some widgets/desklets/gadgets on the wallpaper, but uses less memory and computation power, making it OK for laptop use. Additionally the script can work also as a wallpaper slideshow (i.e. taking a background image - usually a picture - randomly from a folder or supplied from the command line). The picture image can be stretched to full-screen or re-sized and re-positioned on the wallpaper next to XPlanet renderings. The script is written in Bash (Bourne-again shell), and requires XPlanet, ImageMagick and optionally POM (PhaseOfTheMoon). It should work on all platforms with bash installed and possibly on Cygwin.
