Openbox wallpaper changer

[MooPi]

I'm a big fan of Openbox and have a simple way to rotate my wallpaper. I use crontab to change my wallpaper from 8am to midnight,(when I would use the computer). The added benefit of changing on the hour is it brings my attention to the time, which I lose track of when I'm busy.I use "feh" to display my wallpaper and photos so here is my simple changer.

# m h dom mon dow command
00 00 * * * env DISPLAY=:0 feh --bg-scale ~/background/universe.jpg
00 08 * * * env DISPLAY=:0 feh --bg-scale ~/background/zapp.jpg
00 09 * * * env DISPLAY=:0 feh --bg-scale ~/background/wisper.jpg
00 10 * * * env DISPLAY=:0 feh --bg-scale ~/background/universe.jpg
00 11 * * * env DISPLAY=:0 feh --bg-scale ~/background/timezone.jpg
00 12 * * * env DISPLAY=:0 feh --bg-scale ~/background/seeds.jpg
00 13 * * * env DISPLAY=:0 feh --bg-scale ~/background/roadtrip.jpg
00 14 * * * env DISPLAY=:0 feh --bg-scale ~/background/moonphase.jpg
00 15 * * * env DISPLAY=:0 feh --bg-scale ~/background/goldfish.jpg
