Have you tried Variety wallpaper changer ?
You can use it to do a wallpaper slideshow with Variety on the Mate Desktop.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install variety
Hi Matt, thanks for the suggestion. I’m aware that there’s a variety of tools like Variety to change wallpaper, just that I think Mate desktop should have this feature built-in. It’s kinda basic, really.
MATE does have the functionality, but it’s a bit fiddly as it involves creating an XML file - some details/tutorials here:
I couldn’t find an issue upstream mentioning about slideshows. I suppose you could raise one asking for an option / user interface to make it easier to create slideshows? Caja (the desktop / file manager) seems most likely place for such feature as I think that is what produces the “Change Desktop Background” interface.
