* Package name : xwallpaper Version : 0.2 Upstream Author : Tobias Stoeckmann <tob...@stoeckmann.org> * URL : https://github.com/stoeckmann/xwallpaper * License : ISC Programming Lang: C Description : utility for setting X wallpaper Hi, While reviewing feh (and imlib2 dependency) from security aspect Tobias found a few issues in it. While those were fixed upstream, imlib2 is marked as legacy and no release is expected soon. As alternative to feh Tobias decided to write an even simpler tool for setting the wallpaper, which is conveniently named xwallpaper (with xsetwallpaper already being used by NetBSD people). It has minimal dependencies (libxcb, libjpg, libpng, libxpm) and is just above 1000 lines of code. Regarding to background setting support it supports all of feh's modes while using less resources and being faster. Compared to feh unsupported features are image loading from URLs and automatic creation of a status file. Also parameter syntax is slightly different following the syntax of xrandr. -- Sebastian
