NAME

       variety - Variety Wallpaper Changer

SYNOPSIS

       variety [options] [files or urls]

DESCRIPTION

       Passing  local  files will add them to Variety's queue.  Passing remote URLs will make Variety fetch them
       to Fetched folder and place them in the queue.

       To set a specific wallpaper: variety --set /some/local/image.jpg

OPTIONS

       --version
              show program's version number and exit

       -h, --help
              show this help message and exit

       --profile=PROFILE
              Profile name or full path to the configuration folder Variety should use. If not  specified,  this
              is  ~/.config/variety/.  If just a name is used instead of a full path, the profile folder will be
              ~/.config/variety-profiles/<name>. Use only when initially starting Variety - changing the profile
              path requires restart. Several instances of Variety can be started when using different  profiles,
              each  with  its  own  separate  configuration.  This  can  be  used for example to control several
              different screens or workspaces under desktop environments like XFCE which  allow  this.  To  pass
              commands to a running instance, pass the same --profile argument as the one it was started with in
              subsequent commands.
