This program has an unique approach. It allows you to apply various filters to change wallpapers beyond recognition and also lets you to download wallpapers from various sources and display additional info like time and date or quotes on the desktop. Very well done. works on opensuse with gnome

Still some rough edges to iron out, but it is really great and the best tool for the purpose I've so far found on Ubuntu.
