Variety & TWMs
Seems like other people using variety have had the same issue of \TypeError: gobject `variety+Util+VarietyMetadata' doesn't support property `path'``, reported here and here. Might still caused by using it with nix, idk, I'm no expert in how exactly nix handles python

Hey! I made a small python script to periodically change the desktop background on Ubuntu 20.04LTS
This is why I found variety which does the exact same thing though it also has some config options and the option to get different images from online sources.

- Hi, i'm trying to create a custom wallpaper slideshow based on time, like adwaita doe. I created a folder, placed it in the same folder as default one, the XML (code in comment) is based on adwaita's, but in control center it does't appear. There is one more step to do ? Happy New Year's Eve btw ;)

Is it me, or are wallpaper slideshow transitions incredibly janky?
It does. It uses XML. See * https://github.com/maoschanz/dynamic-wallpaper-editor * https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/4694 * https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-desktop/-/issues/191
