  • Fetching picture(s) of the day now works without errors.
  • xmllint (XPath) is used to select the URL nodes, which is less error prone than using grep.
  • Pictures dir on Linux now is chosen in respect to the selected language.
  • xsetbg is used to update the background image on Linux.
  • A script for lightdm integration on Linux was added to the Tools directory.
  • Version was bumped to 0.5.

Tested on Arch Linux machine, MacOS X pending (should work).

Add script to automatically update lightdm background

The script downloads the picture of the day and stores
it to a directory next to the previous ones. It maintains
a link with fixed name that always points to the latest
added picture. The link should be referenced by the
lightdm greeter.
