Go visit http://simpledesktops.com ! They've - arguably - the best collection of minimal, beautiful, abstract art-esque wallpapers! I absolutely adore the official Simple Desktops for Mac app; which cycles through a humongous collection of 1400+ such aforementioned wallpapers, at a set frequency.
When one of my friends was visibly quite bummed at the lack of something similar for Windows; we thought it best to scrape all the wallpapers and have the stock Windows wallpaper manager manage these!
Hence, this scraper!
-
Please ensure that NodeJS is installed on your computer.
-
Run the following commands to start downloading the wallpapers.
npm install
npm run start
- You can run
npm run startas many times as you wish (either in case of errors, or downloads that stop midway). Wallpapers which have already been downloaded, won't be downloaded again.
Be a good netizen, and do use the scraped data for absolutely-personal purposes only! Use of these desktop wallpapers is for personal use only, and shouldn't be sold or reposted without the expressed written consent of the desktop creator.
