It seems like it would be easy to replace the part of one of those scripts that does the random choosing with a selector that just uses images from a directory. I think it will display them in order by default, as in doriangrey1, doriangrey2, doriangrey3.
Does variety from jessie-backports also display in random order? It seems to have quite a few settings.

Re: HOWTO Requests
I would first learn how to make a .gif animation, if you don't know how.
Key words, "How to make a .gif animation"
After you learn how to make a animation,
how use a gif animation as your desktop background on Debian
,...
Using a WM, OpenBox,on Debian 7 would be how I would write a script for,..
Would it work on Rasbpbian, and Pixels DE,..? I doubt it.
If you were using Debian, you could maybe use a package called .
"byzanz" (byzanz-record)
https://www.unixmen.com/make-animated-g ... ly-byzanz/
Also Image Magick, https://www.imagemagick.org/script/animate.php
Or with the "convert" command, (what I used)

Example:
Do some more searches, read some tutorials on "How to write a script "
But it would help get better results if you at least have some idea of what
kind of script, IE: bash, ksh,zsh,sh ,dash,perl,pascal,python,etc.....

Well, it does , if I did go into details, and wrote a "How to", on this and for this forum, it would be for Debian, since this is a Debian User Forum,... and it probably would not work for some other OS, like Raspbian, or Pixels Desktop, .....by ckilmer75 » If it matters, I'm doing this in Raspbian via the Pixel desktop.

Re: HOWTO Requests
ckilmer75 wrote:write a script that will change my desktop background through a determined progression and NOT random. Every script I've come across in my search randomly selects the image. I'd also like to be able to set the time between changes, and for the image to be centered on the screen and unscaled.
My end goal is to have my background show a slowly aging portrait. I've taken numerous screenshots at different points of a video where the subject is aging rapidly, which is why I need the change to not be random. The images are numbered beginning with "1".
Code: Select all
bash -c 'for i in {1..99}; do feh --bg-center /full/path/to/image/folder/$i.png; sleep 600; done &'
This will display all images from 1.png to 99.png in sequence with a 600 second (10 minute) delay, adjust as required
