 1 | # rangeela
 2 | 
 3 | ## What is it?
 4 | 
 5 | **rangeela** in 'Hindi' means colourful. 
 6 | Rangeela is a little script to generate an image full of randomly coloured
 7 | squares, which you can set as your wallpaper or whatever you feel like.
 8 | 
 9 | ## Quick Start
10 | 
11 | Installation requires [**`python2`**](https://docs.python.org/2/) obviously,
12 | **gtk** for reading the screen resolution, and **PIL** ([Python Image Library](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_Imaging_Library))
13 | 
14 | You can install all of them from your favorite package manager, if you are like
15 | me using Arch(or Arch-like) then you can search your official repos using
16 | ```linux
17 | sudo pacman -Ss
18 | ```
19 | 
20 | ## Instructions
21 | 
22 | 1. `$ git clone https://github.com/anshulc95/rangeela.git ~/rangeela`
23 | 2. `$ cd ~/rangeela`
24 | 3. `$ python2 rangeela.py`
25 | 4. Now your wallpaper is generated, you can use your preferred wallpaper manager
26 | to set *this* as your wallpaper.
27 | 
28 | ## Example 
29 | 
30 | This is what the wallpaper is going to look like:

38 | ## TODO:
39 | 
40 | 1. Use `argparse` to get specific instructions
41 | 2. Add the wallpaper to Ubuntu's default Unity wallpaper manager

49 | ## Release notes
50 | ### 1.1.0
51 | 
52 | I have replaced the *pygame* with *PIL(Python Image Library)* since it's better
53 | maintained and is focused specially on image manipulation, thus giving me more
54 | things to try with images.
55 | 
56 | I have faded the colours, tried to mute them down. By mixing them with the 'white'
57 | colour, and then taking a average of them.
58 | 
59 | I have removed the feature of script setting the wallpaper for you, I realised
60 | people have different application according to their taste which they use for
61 | customizing their desktop, so setting wallpaper, I leave that to you.
62 |
