Prerequisite: Python GUI – tkinter
In this article, we are going to write a script for background changing application using the py-wallpaper module in Python. The py-wallpaper module is used to change the background wallpaper. Before starting we need to install py-wallpaper.
Installation:
To install this type the below command in the terminal.
pip install py-wallpaper
Getting Started
Import modules.
Python3
# import modulesfrom wallpaper import set_wallpaper, get_wallpaper |
Now you can get your current background image location with get_wallpaper attributes and you can change with set_wallpaper.
Python3
# get current wallpaper's pathprint(get_wallpaper())# set your photoset_wallpaper("location/to/image.jpg") |
Output:
D:\img\wallpapersden.com_money-heist_3840x2232.jpg
Background changer Application with Tkinter: This Script implements the above Implementation into a GUI.
Python3
# import modulesfrom tkinter import *from tkinter import filedialogfrom wallpaper import set_wallpaper# user define functiondef change_wall(): # set your photo try: set_wallpaper(str(path.get())) check = "success" except: check = "Wallpaper not found !" result.set(check)def browseFiles(): filename = filedialog.askopenfilename(initialdir="/", title="Select a File", filetypes=(("jpeg files", "*.jpg"), ("all files", "*.*"))) path.set(filename) # Change label contents label_file_explorer.configure(text="File Opened: "+filename) return filename# object of tkinter# and background set for redmaster = Tk()master.configure(bg='light grey')# Variable Classes in tkinterresult = StringVar()path = StringVar()label_file_explorer = Label( master, text="Select a image", width=100, fg="blue")# Creating label for each information# name using widget LabelLabel(master, text="Select image : ", bg="light grey").grid(row=0, sticky=W)Label(master, text="Status :", bg="light grey").grid(row=3, sticky=W)# Creating label for class variable# name using widget EntryLabel(master, text="", textvariable=result, bg="light grey").grid(row=3, column=1, sticky=W)# creating a button using the widget# Button that will call the submit functionb = Button(master, text="Open", command=browseFiles, bg="white")b.grid(row=0, column=2, columnspan=2, rowspan=2, padx=5, pady=5,)label_file_explorer.grid(column=1, row=1)c = Button(master, text="Apply", command=change_wall, bg="white")c.grid(row=2, column=2, columnspan=2, rowspan=2, padx=5, pady=5,)mainloop() |
Output:
After selecting this wallpaper.
