Walldyn
Principe The objective is to make your wallpaper vary in case of some conditions.- For the Walltimes, the wallpaper will follow the day's progression, from the sunrise, to the sunset.
- For the Wallmétéo,(needs always an internet connection) the wallpaper will follow the day's progression, and the weather too ! And this thanks to a data catch on the website Weather.com
Walltime Installation
To install a dynamic wallpaper :
- Download of those archives below
- Extract the archive (X)
- Put the extracted directory (X) in /usr/share/backgrounds
- right click on the desktop --> "Change Desktop Background" -->"Add" ->use the .xml in usr/share/backgrounds/(X)
That's all ! ;-)
When you seek you xml file in the popup window to use your xml file, don't forget to click on the "images" button in the bottom right to specify that your search must be on "All Files" ! Otherwise, your .xml won't appear !

If you want the wallmeteo to work ,you must put a file which "knows" the weather as your wallpaper.
In order to do so, Kanor has made a little program very simple to use : Walldyn.
There is nothing else to install except Walldyn and a wallpaper pack (that you find below. 
Installation - Walldyn is here updated by cosmobob.

- Launch Walldyn by double-clicking on backgroundG.
- Just follow the instructions
- Warning! : the feature below is only available in France , to fix this , you may have to edit the file list-ville manually add your town like this :
ZIPCODE:Town_name:Country:longitude:latitude - Fill just one of the fields : Nom de la ville or longitude et latitude or zip code, !
- Walldyn's configuration has ended, one file will auto-generate in the images directory; its name : "newbackground.xml"
