GLSlideshow come configurarlo!

Vi sarete accorti che in Ubuntu tra gli screensaver c’è un bellissimo GLSlideshow ma che mostra sempre un bellissimo monitor nero!

Come passargli la nostra cartella immagini ?

Ecco come ( è in lingua inglese ma ben comprensibile )

• GLSlideshow is a screensaver that shows your images in a slideshow with smooth panning and fading. To enable it:

System > Preferences > Screensaver
Choose GLSlideshow

• Feisty doesn’t offer a way to edit the directory for the images. To change it, create a .xscreensaver file in your home directory:

gedit .xscreensaver

• Add this line:

imageDirectory: /path/to/images/

• Save it and test the screensaver by locking your screen. You’ll see your images, but it will repeat the same one over and over. To fix this, change your glslideshow.desktop configuration file:

gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/screensavers/glslideshow.desktop

• Look for the following entry:

Exec=glslideshow -root

• Modify this line to instead read:
  • See the manpage for glslideshow for what these options do, and to see more options:

Exec=glslideshow -root -duration 10 -pan 10 -fade 3

• Save and try the screensaver again. You should see all of your images in a random-ordered slideshow.
