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.
