Desktop Dulne? Install the “Photo of the Day” application on Ubuntu

Over the years, I have featured dozens of applications, scripts and wallpaper extensions for Ubuntu which define a new wallpaper every day, often Recover high resolution images from sites like Bing,, Nasa And Wikimedia.

Photo of the day is another application of this type, it built in rust with a GTK4 / Libadwaita graphical interface.

Its role is simple: allow yourself to preview the latest “image of the day” images of four well-known online sources, while knowing more about what the image shows. Then, if you like what you see, define it as a desktop wallpaper.

Alternatively, you can tell the application to automatically download a new image of the day and define it as a desktop.

There are a lot of Big wallpaper changer Linux office computers tools. Many of them are also equipped to preview, download and automatically define art from a myriad of online art sources, stores and silos, as well as a reserve of local image files.

But with more sources, more overviews and more choices come from decision -making (or worse: condemn to appease dopamine – and if there is one even nicer Next wallpaper?).

Worse, you can end up allowing a backend where content turns more on the wild side – you are less likely to see slightly dressed models of drapes on your desktop using this application!

The small set of sources included in Photo of the day are:

The first three of them are well known and popular with users of different bones, because they have new high quality, high quality and / or new quality images every day.

The art of the Swedish artist Simon Stålenhag mixes things. Science fiction fans may be familiar with the name because Stålenhag’s art served as direct inspiration for the Amazon Prime television series (painfully neglected) Loop Tales.

As a GTK4 / Libadwaita application, Photo of the day Gels well with the modern gnome office that Ubuntu uses. You must provide the application with the authorization necessary to actually modify the bottom of the office, whether automatically or just when you see an image you like:

Other features are planned, including more image sources and facilitating users to easily record an image they like so that they can (manually) put it back as a wallpaper on a later date (copyright and license granting may mean that you cannot modify or distribute it, etc.).

In all, an interesting application for personalization fans.

Those who like to have a nice office Photo of the day Since the attraction – a real “set and forget and enjoy what you get” you don’t need to leave and find new wallpapers yourself because you will get a fee every day.

You can install it from Flathub—It uses Gnome 48 execution, so if it is not already installed, it must be downloaded first, but the execution is shared by all the applications that use it – or you can recover the Source code on GitHub to compile it by hand.
