I have made the script executable with chmod +x name_of_script
If I force to launch it manually from gnome-schedule it works, wallpaper changes but if it launches automatically as a repetitive task without forcing manually, only wallpaper is downloaded to my ~/wallpapers folder but wallpaper doesn't change.
What's happenning?
Finally, it will be highly appreciated if text of the wallpaper appears hidden by default and the user could show/hide it by clicking in it, the same as windows version.
Thanks very much and good job!
