Bug Description

Dear all,

I found all eOS wallpapers very beautiful and would like to experience them all. What just came to my mind (and what I remember from some other desktop environments), would it be possible to randomise wallpapers?

Attached a screenshot of how this could be integrated into the system preferences with a simple checkbox.

Looking forward to your opinion!

Warmly,

Robert

Dear Rickard,

Please don't consider me a sophisticated designer. ;)

I just wanted to share with you how I could imagine this feature to be implemented into the system.

Warmly,

Robert

I coded a little bash script that will randomize your wallpaper on boot or turn your desktop into a slideshow at an interval you specify. Here you can find some information on how to use it: https://poisonpacket.wordpress.com/2015/05/19/elementary-os-slideshow-wallpaper-background/

This would be perfect as I'm currently using Variety to randomize wallpapers. Also, loved your checkbox mate, cheers to that.
