Walltext lets you rapidly generate beautiful desktop wallpapers from plain text or Markdown right from your terminal. It includes rotating background schedules, hot-reloading watchers, and a fully featured Desktop GUI management tool.
Walltext is free and open-source under the MIT License.
- Text & Markdown: Support for standard text, or robust Markdown with custom frontmatter, built-in themes ([
poster,terminal,note]), and BBCode colors ([color=#ff0000]red[/color]). - Rich Manager GUI: Easily manage, organize, design, and edit your wallpaper rotation through the native desktop interface.
- Smart Sizing: Automatic image sizing pulled directly from your primary display resolution.
- Watch & Listen: Re-apply wallpapers dynamically from a changing file (
walltext watch) or cycle silently through a list on an interval schedule (walltext listen).
