spacex-wallpaper

Use @spacex's latest unsplash.com photo as desktop wallpaper

Using

First install the package globally:

npm i -g spacex-wallpaper

Then run the package:

spacex-wallpaper

That's it, enjoy our new SpaceX driven wallpaper!

Caveats

• This currently only supports one display. It will not set the second display, unfortunately. To follow this issue watch: https://github.com/sindresorhus/macos-wallpaper/issues/2
• There is not really a way to correctly set your background scaling. I have found the best method is to set your stretching to "Stretch to Fill Screen". To do this on macOS, go to System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver and change the dropdown to "Stretch to Fill Screen".

Automation

I have mine set to run in a crontab once a day, as it doesn't seem like @spacex is uploading on an hourly or less basis. Here is how I did that:

env EDITOR=vim crontab -e

Then paste in:

0 9 * * * spacex-wallpaper

Then I exit visual mode (hit esc) and type ZZ to write and quit. If that worked correctly you should get:

crontab: no crontab for <insert_your_username> - using an empty one
crontab: installing new crontab

To verify it saved correctly run:

crontab -l
