Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, Webilder is an open-source application that downloads pretty wallpapers from Flickr and Webshots, by some keywords specified by the users. Also, it has a feature for changing the wallpaper at a specified time interval.
The Webilder package also provides an indicators for Unity and Gnome.
For Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 right-click on the GNOME panel, choose “Add to panel”, and select “Webilder Webshots Applet”, after the first login.
If the indicator does not start automatically after your next log in on Ubuntu 14.04 Unity, launch the Webilder Indicator App.
The latest version available is Webilder 0.7.3, which has been released a while ago.
In this article I will show you how to install Webilder 0.7.3 on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr, on the Unity, GNOME, LXDE and XFCE flavors.
Because it is not available via PPA, we have to download the deb package from the project’s site and install the webilder package. Like this:
$ wget http://www.webilder.org/static/downloads/webilder_0.7.3-1_all.deb
$ sudo gdebi webilder_0.7.3-1_all.deb
Optional, to remove webilder, do:
$ sudo apt-get remove webilder
