OperaGX Weather Wallpaper

Description

OperaGX Weather Wallpaper is a simple python script made to change your OperaGX based on the current weather of the city you provided.It only works with OperaGX official website wallpapers.

How it works

1. The script deletes all your current wallpaper (save them in another folder if you don't want to lose them).
2. It finds the weather for the city you provided using the OpenWeather API.
3. It gets the wallpaper that matches the weather for the city.
4. The script launches the wallpaper link in a new operaGX window .
5. It downloads the new wallpaper using a script injected in chrome/chromium dev tools (that's the only way I found to run javascript code on addons.opera.com as chrome extensions do not work on this subdomain for security reasons).
6. The script closes the window and the new wallpaper is set shortly after.

Prerequisites

You must have python and pip installed on your computer to run the script (and OperaGX of course).

Installation and Usage

1. Code downloading

In order to use the script, you have to run the git command:

git clone https://github.com/Sheep-s4n/OperaGX_Weather_Wallpaper.git

Or, you can download it manually:

2. Dependencies downloading

Run this pip command to install all requires dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Setting up the options

Options for running the script are located in settings.json.

Settings explanation:

• open-weather api key : your key for the OpenWeather API.

• city : city used to get weather.

• opera launcher path : operaGX launcher.exe path.

• themes files path : OperaGX wallpaper files path.

• url loading delay : seconds to wait for the web page to be fully loaded (increment if you're browsing on a potato computer).

• open OperaGX delay : seconds to wait for OperaGX to start up (increment if you're browsing on a potato computer).

• cursor X : default is "default" , change it if the cursor doesn't land on the chrome dev tool console (usually for multiple monitor computer).

• cursor Y : same as mouse pos width but for height.

• copy script on clipboard : the value is "True" or "False". Copy the javascript code on clipboard so as to run it much faster.

• themes : choose which theme to apply for each weather condition provided by the the OpenWeather API. For example:

  "themes" : {
      "snow":"https://addons.opera.com/en/wallpapers/details/in-the-snow-anime/"
  }
  

  This code will set the https://addons.opera.com/en/wallpapers/details/in-the-snow-anime/ wallpaper when the weather description is snow.

  You can also set multiple wallpaper for a single weather description such as in the following code:

  "scattered clouds":["https://addons.opera.com/en/wallpapers/details/summer/", "https://addons.opera.com/en/wallpapers/details/windmill-anime/"]
  

  In this case the wallpaper will be randomly chosen.

  Moreover, you can set a time-dependent wallpaper for a weather description:

  "few clouds":[
      {
          "start-time": "19:00",
          "end-time": "21:00",
          "wallpaper" :"https://addons.opera.com/en/wallpapers/details/anime-girl-looking-at-sunset/"
      }
  ]
  

  In this code snippet, the wallpaper will be "https://addons.opera.com/en/wallpapers/details/anime-girl-looking-at-sunset/" between 19:00 and 20:00 for the weather description few clouds

  Furthermore, you can set a time-dependent wallpaper that will be set regardless of the weather in the time_overwrite section:

  "time_overwrite" : {
  	"start-time": "20:30",
  	"end-time": "24:00",
  	"wallpaper" : "https://addons.opera.com/en/wallpapers/details/endless-galaxy-train/"
  },
  

  The https://addons.opera.com/en/wallpapers/details/anime-girl-looking-at-sunset/ will bet set from 19:00 to 24:00 (same as 00:00) no matter what weather it is.

  Finally, you can combine multiple options, as shown in the following example:

  "few clouds":[
      {
          "start-time": "19:00",
          "end-time": "21:00",
          "wallpaper" :["https://addons.opera.com/en/wallpapers/details/anime-girl-looking-at-sunset/","https://addons.opera.com/en/wallpapers/details/silhouette-sunset-mountains/"]
      },"https://addons.opera.com/en/wallpapers/details/time-alone/"
  ]
  

  Here, the wallpaper will be chosen randomly between https://addons.opera.com/en/wallpapers/details/anime-girl-looking-at-sunset/ and https://addons.opera.com/en/wallpapers/details/silhouette-sunset-mountains/ from 19:00 to 21:00 and the rest of the time it will be https://addons.opera.com/en/wallpapers/details/time-alone/

  If no wallpaper is found the default wallpaper will be used. You can set the default wallpaper like this:

  "default":"https://addons.opera.com/en/wallpapers/details/coding-den-live-wallpaper/"
  

  Weather descriptions are sorted in such a way that the weather placed highest in the JSON object takes priority over the others. For example, if the weather is thunderstorm with rain the rain wallpaper will be the one chosen in the following example as rain wallpaper is higher in the object than the thunderstorm wallpaper:

  "rain":"https://addons.opera.com/en/wallpapers/details/rainy-day-future-city/",
  "thunderstorm":"https://addons.opera.com/en/wallpapers/details/sasuke/"
  

  You can also add a new key-value pair to the object for specific cases as thunderstorm with rain:

  "thunderstorm with rain":"https://addons.opera.com/en/wallpapers/details/old-steves-pub/"
  

• mode : there is one mode for the moment:

  • repeat : this mode runs the script infinitely until you send a SIGINT to the program by typing ctrl+c.

• repeat interval : only for repeat mode, defines the number of minutes until the next wallpaper is set.

4. Running the script

Now you just have to run the python script using python:

python main.py

Or, using the newer version, python3:

python3 main.py

Alternatively, you can use the launch_daemon.vbs file in windows the launch the script in the background. In order to close the daemon process, you have to run the stop_daemon.vbs script (or just close the python.exe process from task manager).

⚠️ Important: inject.js and Data have to be in the same folder as main.py in order to run the script without any issues. ⚠️
