Credit for the name to [Neil Martin](https://macadmins.slack.com/archives/C19MR7EM9/p1536586211000100).\n\nNote: Apple used to call the macOS background image \u0027desktop picture\u0027 until macOS 13 Ventura, when they changed to be the same as in iOS: \u0027wallpaper\u0027. This documentation might use either term.\n\nI have written a few blog posts that describe different use strategies for setting a desktop picture:\n\n- [Using desktoppr in a managed environment](https://scriptingosx.com/2024/01/using-desktoppr-in-a-managed-environment/)\n- [Building a LaunchD Installer pkg for desktoppr (and other tools)](https://scriptingosx.com/2024/07/building-a-launchd-installer-pkg-for-desktoppr-and-other-tools/)\n- [Strategies to using desktoppr](https://scriptingosx.com/2020/03/strategies-to-using-desktoppr/)\n- [Random Desktop Background with desktoppr](https://scriptingosx.com/2020/04/random-desktop-background-color-with-desktoppr/)\n\n## Getting and setting the current desktop picture/wallpaper\n\nYou can read the current desktop picture/wallpaper with:\n\n```\n$ desktoppr\n/Library/Desktop Pictures/Sierra.jpg\n```\n\nand set the desktop picture with\n\n```\n$ desktoppr \"/Library/Desktop Pictures/BoringBlueDesktop.png\"\n```\n\nWhen the path is a path to a folder, the system will rotate the wallpaper through all the image files in that folder. The default rotation time is 30 minutes and can be changed in the Wallpaper settings pane. `desktoppr` cannot change the frequency.\n\n```\n$ desktoppr \"/Library/Desktop Pictures/My Wallpapers/\"\n```\n\nWhen you have multiple displays, `desktoppr` will list all desktop pictures:\n\n```\n$ d",
