# ---------------------------------- About ----------------------------------- #
# This file inserts a wallpaper pipe menu into Openbox which uses feh          #
# in order to set the wallpaper from a chosen directory.                       #

# ------------------------------ Setting it up ------------------------------- #
# feh automatically inserts the full command string used to set the wallpaper  #
# into ~/.fehbg. In order to set the wallpaper back at the next start of       #
# Openbox, just add the following to ~/.xinitrc.                               #
#									       #
# eval `cat ~/.fehbg`							       #
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- #

# types of files accepted (list, seperated by a |)
filetypes = "jpg|png|gif"
# directory where wallpapers are stored (must be long: no ~ symbol allowed)
directory = sys.argv[1]
# program to set wallpaper defined in the command string
program = "feh --bg-scale"

				# if so, add it to the pipe menu
				print "  <item label=\"" + fi + "\">"
