My uncle has a third party desktop changer that changes his wallpaper to pictures from his picture folder. I wanted to do the same with python. This is what I came up with. Windows only… sorry.

import ctypes, time, os

p = "C:\Users\owner\Pictures\goth" #path to your picture folder
SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER = 20
os.chdir(p)


while 1:
  for i in os.listdir(os.getcwd()):
    ctypes.windll.user32.SystemParametersInfoA(SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER, 0, i, 0)
    time.sleep(600)

My girlfriend has it on her new vista laptop, and im pretty sure she had it on her xp desktop. Both personal not professional.
