PawMan – The Actually Decent Walltaker Client
What is this?
It’s a scuffed but functional Walltaker client for people who want their desktop wallpapers to change automatically based on a walltaker.joi.how link. Works on GNOME Linux and Windows and Android. No fancy UI, no BS. Just does the job.
Features
-
Auto-updates your wallpaper with the latest image from your Walltaker link.
-
Supports GNOME (Ubuntu 24.04+, only tested on X11, Wayland is a gamble).
-
Windows support: Handles resizing, centering, and filling, so your desktop doesn’t look like hot garbage.
-
Option to download wallpapers as they change.
-
Stupid easy config. No, really.
How to Use (Linux GNOME)
-
Open
pawslut_wt.sh
in your text editor. -
Set your Walltaker link ID (
id=xxxxx
). Make one here. Walltaker -
Choose if you want to save wallpapers (
download=1
for yes,0
for no). -
Save and make the script executable:
chmod +x pawslut_wt.sh
-
Run it:
./pawslut_wt.sh
-
If you want it to run on startup, use Ubuntu's Startup Apps or slap it in a cron job (
crontab -e
).
Wallpapers get dumped into a wallpapers
folder wherever you run the script.
How to Use (Windows)
-
Edit
config.txt
– put in your Walltaker link ID, pick your resize style (none
,fill
,contain
), set the poll time (in seconds).link_id = YOUR_ID_HERE resize = contain poll_time = 10
-
Run the .exe, keep config.txt in the same folder as the .exe
-
Wallpapers are downloaded and set automagically.
Windows also has a downloader as a separate app, similar method except all your link ID's go on a new line, look at my example config.txt just do what i did swaping my numbers for yours
How to Use (Android)
1. Install the .apk
2. type in your link numbers
3. it sets your backgrounds - if you want it to run all the time then consult your manual for having android apps run without battery management (frankly its awkward and convoluted hence why i aint helping with that, I got it working automatically on my phone but my tablet refuses to let the app run all the time lol)
Requirements
For all Methods you'll need eyeballs
Linux (GNOME):

GNOME desktop (Ubuntu 24.04+ recommended, X11 tested, Wayland = try your luck)
-
sed
-
curl
-
Internet connection (duh)
Windows:
-
Not being dumb with the config, swap the number in config.txt to your numbers
Android:
- install the .apk, launch it, type in the numbers in the correct fields
FAQ / Q&A
-
Q: Does it work on KDE, XFCE, or other stuff?
-
A: Maybe, I made it only GNOME right now. If you want other DE support, change the code depending on what you use and don’t bug me.
-
-
Q: What happens if I put the wrong ID?
-
A: It won’t work, and the Windows version will let you know you’re dumb.
-
-
Q: Can I make it fetch faster/slower?
-
A: Yeah, change
poll_time
inconfig.txt
(Windows) or thesleep
value in the.sh

This isn’t fancy software for normies. If you know how to open a text editor and run scripts, you’re good. If not, maybe touch grass or learn how to use Google.
