Description

This is a slideshow made with conky. It's easy to setup and to customize, and it comes with three different dimensions (to fit all necessities).
Actually, it's a porting of the slideshow rainmeter conky by JavaJosh82 [link] . Thanks to iacoporosso for the tip, and JavaJosh82 for the instpiration.

************************************************

Dependencies:
  • imagemagick is mandatory. Be sure to check if it's installed to run the script properly.

************************************************

Installation:
To suit your needs, you have to extract the archive, and modify few things.
  • slideshow.sh -> This is the script that manages images. In the beginning of the file there are two variables you can change. The former is "directory", and it handles the directory in which there are images to slide. The latter is "dim", and it manages the dimension of the slideshow itself; it can be set to "big", "medium" or "small" (default is "medium").

  • NookieSlideshowConky -> This is a simple conky made to run the slideshow script. Change the value after "${execpi" to increase or reduce the refresh rate. Default is 60 (seconds).

************************************************

2012-02-10 Update:
  • Modified form factor of the frame to better match the majority of images (that generally are in 4:3 ratio).

  • Improved the script, and added more shadow to the frames.

How do you get rid of the semi transparent border?
