Reddit Wallpapers

Description
Fetches images from reddit and displays them as wallpapers. You can specify which subreddits to load pictures from as well as a handful of other useful settings (slideshow speed, transition, etc.). This wallpaper also features a menu bar where you can view infos about the images or skip wallpapers you don't like.


Q/A

How do I choose my subreddits?
First off: Be sure to pick image subreddits.
Option A:
Select List of subreddits under General ► Select subreddits with. List your subreddits separated by comma and paste this list into General ► Subreddit list under Properties in the wallpaper engine window.
Option B:
Create or pick a public custom feed (reddit.com/user/<name>/m/<feed>), select public multireddit under General ► Select subreddits with and paste the URL of the custom feed under General ► multireddit URL. The wallpaper will then get the subreddit list from this custom feed. There is a refresh button for the subreddit list if you hover over the New Image button in the menu on the wallpaper.
Filters:
Further down the in the properties you can specify some filters for the images (minimum resolution, minimum aspect ratio).

How do I hide the menu bar?
In the wallpaper engine window on the right side under Properties go to Menu Settings ► Visibility and choose None.

Can you add upvote/downvote buttons to the menu bar?
I may add this in the future. I'd have to create an OAuth application for it though (otherwise you'd have to enter your reddit account credentials in the properties of my wallpaper which means trusting a third party application with your login data which is something you should never never ever do).

Are you able to add a similar scale options to windows like Fill, Fit, Stretch, Tile? A lot of the times the images are much larger or stretch off screen and would prefer to not only hat 16:9

Tysm for update.:steamhappy:

I've just added custom feed support
You can paste the link to your custom feed into the settings and it will fetch the subreddit list from there instead of having to enter it manually
I've also added a button in the tooltip of the "New Image" button in the menu that allows you to reload the subreddit list from the multireddit if you changed it on reddit and want to refresh it.

+1 for multireddit support!

Is there a github for this project for people who might want to contribute?
anna  [author] 14 May, 2020 @ 4:42pm 
oh this multireddit you mean. I see
yeah that's not supported currently, sorry
but it's a good idea
I'll see what I can do
>>Bo_OT?! 14 May, 2020 @ 4:30pm 
But the multireddit (aka Custom feed) has https://www.reddit.com/user/ [username]/m/[multireddit_name]/ link. And this function needs a custom feed to not be private.
It's easier to edit what you want to see on the reddit site itself.

Just one link to a multireddit instead of a large number of subreddit names

it has (sort of) :winter2019happyyul:
you need to modify your link a little. say your multireddit link is
https://www.reddit.com/r/EarthPorn+SkyPorn+waterporn

follow these steps:
1. get rid of https://www.reddit.com/r/ in front:
EarthPorn+SkyPorn+waterporn

2. replace + with , (comma):
EarthPorn,SkyPorn,waterporn

now paste this string EarthPorn,SkyPorn,waterporn into the subreddit list in the wallpaper settings. done!

(if I ever update this I will add an automatic parser for this, but I'm not currently planning on doing that so this is the way you have to do it. If you don't like that you can always go and modify the js code)

Multireddit support needed.
Thx

@Enderlux, thank you for the fix! Also, the copy url buttons are fantastic too, thanks for the quick response!
anna  [author] 8 Jul, 2019 @ 4:37pm 
@Tongue oh yeah you're right. I never noticed that because I don't have the pause setting enabled. I've just published an update that should fix it.
clickable links are bit of a problem because they open inside the wallpaper instead of the default browser, which makes them pretty much useless. there is no way to open a link in the default browser afaik. but I have added two buttons to copy the image url and post url
