Idea #9429: Random wallpaper button linked to wikimedia commons

Written by duncanbourne the 3 Jun 08 at 15:20. Category: Graphics. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
There are some fabulous high quality images at wikimedia commons, which I regularly use for wallpaper.

Why not add a button to the desktop background settings, that would download a random image from the 'high quality images' section, resize it, and set it as wallpaper? How about going further, and enabling it to run at startup, so every day you get new wallpaper?

I personally use Webilder (http://www.webilder.org/) for wallpapers. It's really nice.
