PortalView Live Desktop Wallpaper |
| Watch the World on Your Linux Desktop |
PortalView
delivers
real-time wallpaper, on your Linux based desktop, from thousands of
webcams and weather sites worldwide. Launch this simple Python
program on the boot or with a click and watch the sun set over
the Mediterranean or Old Faithful erupt in Yellowstone Park.
Automatic updating allows you to monitor your local webcam or road conditions without keeping a resource-hungry browser open. Doppler and Satellite maps keep you informed of approaching weather. World Sunlight maps (Earthlights) include rectangular, hemispheric and moon phase views.
Includes scores of international webcams and weather maps to start with, then customize with your favorites. Supports .jpg, .gif and .png image formats.

| NOTE: This software was written
for Python 2 and with recent upgrades to Python 3, this
live wallpaper program may have stopped working for you.
I am not sure whether I will be upgrading it anytime
soon.
I replaced most of the functionality with wget using a simple cron job, like this:. */15 * * * * wget https://webcam-location.com/image.jpg -O /home/myfolder/Pictures/current.jpg Edit the webcam url and
your folder name. If your webcam uses gif or png images,
change the file type as necessary.
This will update every 15
minutes.
Its not as fast PortalView, but my live desktop is back. If you are missing yours, try this. |
