Prerequisite: Python GUI – tkinter
In this article, we are going to write a script for background changing application using the py-wallpaper module in Python. The py-wallpaper module is used to change the background wallpaper. Before starting we need to install py-wallpaper.
Installation:
To install this type the below command in the terminal.
pip install py-wallpaper
Getting Started
Import modules.
Python3
# import modules from wallpaper import set_wallpaper, get_wallpaper |
Now you can get your current background image location with get_wallpaper attributes and you can change with set_wallpaper.
Python3
# get current wallpaper's path print (get_wallpaper()) # set your photo set_wallpaper( "location/to/image.jpg" ) |
Output:
D:\img\wallpapersden.com_money-heist_3840x2232.jpg
Background changer Application with Tkinter: This Script implements the above Implementation into a GUI.
Python3
# import modules from tkinter import * from tkinter import filedialog from wallpaper import set_wallpaper # user define funtion def change_wall(): # set your photo try : set_wallpaper( str (path.get())) check = "success" except : check = "Wallpaper not found !" result. set (check) def browseFiles(): filename = filedialog.askopenfilename(initialdir = "/" , title = "Select a File" , filetypes = (( "jpeg files" , "*.jpg" ), ( "all files" , "*.*" ))) path. set (filename) # Change label contents label_file_explorer.configure(text = "File Opened: " + filename) return filename # object of tkinter # and background set for red master = Tk() master.configure(bg = 'light grey' ) # Variable Classes in tkinter result = StringVar() path = StringVar() label_file_explorer = Label( master, text = "Select a image" , width = 100 , fg = "blue" ) # Creating label for each information # name using widget Label Label(master, text = "Select image : " , bg = "light grey" ).grid(row = 0 , sticky = W) Label(master, text = "Status :" , bg = "light grey" ).grid(row = 3 , sticky = W) # Creating lebel for class variable # name using widget Entry Label(master, text = "", textvariable = result, bg = "light grey" ).grid(row = 3 , column = 1 , sticky = W) # creating a button using the widget # Button that will call the submit function b = Button(master, text = "Open" , command = browseFiles, bg = "white" ) b.grid(row = 0 , column = 2 , columnspan = 2 , rowspan = 2 , padx = 5 , pady = 5 ,) label_file_explorer.grid(column = 1 , row = 1 ) c = Button(master, text = "Apply" , command = change_wall, bg = "white" ) c.grid(row = 2 , column = 2 , columnspan = 2 , rowspan = 2 , padx = 5 , pady = 5 ,) mainloop() |
Output:
