QUESTION
I have heard its a conventional practice to store program dependent files in /usr/share/application-folder
in linux. So I'm trying to do it in my c program in a function called load_interface_files()
for example. I am not sure if this is a good practice or not, I've heard about creating configuration files for this kind of issues.
Anyways, here's the the code I wrote to make a directory in /usr/share
.

Install dynamic-wallpaper
Clone this repository -
Change to cloned directory and run install.sh -
This program is specifically created to use with a time-based job scheduler such as cron or systemd/Timers. So, After installing this program you need to set up a cron job using crontab on your system. Follow the step below to set a job for this program -.
After installing cron, enable and start the cron service -
Make sure the service is enabled and running -
Cron does not run under the Xorg server therefore it cannot know the environmental variable necessary to be able to start an Xorg server application so they will have to be defined. Find out the values of following environment variables - SHELL, PATH, DISPLAY, DESKTOP_SESSION, DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS, XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
Now, Create an hourly cron job for dwall using crontab -
That's it, dwall added to your crontab and will change the wallpaper every hour. If you want to change the wallpaper style, just remove previous job and add new with another style.
