Desktop background wallpaper, based on current weather and time

A python script that changes your computer’s desktop background based on current weather and time of the day. The weather is obtained from https://openweathermap.org/ API.

Steps

1. Register to https://openweathermap.org/ for free and generate your free API key. The default one should look something like: 93aa1ae52d8df6151ee049fid863a3q0. Then copy paste your API key to the api_key variable.
2. Save the photos you want for each weather and time of the day in any folder you want (just make sure to remember absolute path to your map and save it to path_to_photos variable). Make sure that photos have names: thunderstorm.jpg if the weather is thunderstorms, rain.jpg for rainy weather, snow.jpg if it snows, fog.jpg for foggy weather, clear.jpg for clear sky, clear_night.jpg for clear sky at night and clouds.jpg for cloudy weather.
3. Convert main.py file to main.exe file and put it in your StartUp folder that the program will run everytime you start your computer:
   • converting from .py to .exe using auto-py-to-exe tool
   • automatic run on computer start up
   • if you want your wallpaper to update every some time (for example every half hour), you can do that with .
4. Done
