# XKCD-clock
---
XKCD comics shared a [world map as clock](https://xkcd.com/now) that would show roughly what time it is everywhere in the world. Then that inspired J15R to make the [xkclock](https://j15r.com/projects/xkclock/). I always wanted to have a dynamic wallpaper that wouldn't be heavy on the processor. I found J15R's xkclock and decided to turn it XKCD's world clock into wallpaper.

## Implemented Desktop Environments and Window Managers
1. GNOME (This is what I use)
## Instructions
0. Download and extract the repo (I recommend ~/Pictures/Wallpapers/xkcd-clock)
1. Open bg_setter.sh and uncomment the command(s) for the DE you are using
2. Open the crontab file for your user (probably using `EDITOR=nano crontab -e` command) and add the cronjob for your desktop environment
3. Replace "$PATH_TO_XKCD-CLOCK/bg-setter.sh" part with the PATH to bg-setter.sh script that is in wherever you pulled the repo.
3. Continue to instructions for your desktop environment or window manager
4. If you used nano editor, close crontab file with <kbd>CTRL</kbd><kbd>O</kbd> > <kbd>Enter</kbd> > <kbd>CTRL</kbd><kbd>X</kbd>
### GNOME
1. Open the crontab file for your user (probably using `EDITOR=nano crontab -e` command) and add the below cronjob for your desktop environment.
```
* * * * * DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=$(grep -z DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS /proc/`pgrep -u $USER gnome-session-c`/environ|cut -d= -f2-) $PATH_TO_XKCD-CLOCK/bg-setter.sh
```
3. Replace $USER with your user name (this is recommended since cron service probably run by root)
4. Replace "$PATH_TO_XKCD-CLOCK/bg-setter.sh" part with the PATH to bg-setter.sh script that is in wherever you put the repo.
