Introduction
Slideshow Screensaver is a screensaver for Gnome which displays a new photo every 10 seconds from $HOME/Pictures. If you want to customize the photo directory, the time between photos or the screensaver delay you will need to edit the source code for now.
This is a very simple app which, for now, might not play nicely with xscreensaver, gnome-screensaver, etc.
Installation
Install the system-wide dependencies:
- python 2.7
- dbus-python
- xautolock
Install the python package:
sudo pip install slideshow-screensaver
Configure the screensaver to run automatically:
