✨ setcollection — the manual, but make it make sense ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the setcollection(1) page 💖 this is one of those User Commands situations, so you know it's a real little utility that lives on your system and just wants to be helpful. no cap.

💅 NAME 💅

setcollection — change the desktop wallpaper

like, that's it. that's the whole job. she's an icon, she's a legend, and she is literally the moment 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

setcollection [options] [name of wallpaper collection]

okay so you call her, you optionally throw some flags at her, and then you optionally tell her which wallpaper collection you're feeling today. easy. slay.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

setcollection changes the desktop wallpaper by selecting from a named wallpaper collection. 🎀

and what's a collection, you ask? collections are groups of related wallpapers that can be applied as a set. think of it like a curated lil playlist but for your background — you pick the collection, she handles the vibe check ✨

no manual drag-and-drop, no scrolling through a folder of 400 jpegs named IMG_4471. she just gets it. periodt.

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

  • -v, --verbose — enable verbose output showing detailed information about the operation. she'll narrate what she's doing the whole time, main character energy, very much "here's my thought process" 💬
  • -V, --version — show the current version. in case you ever need to know exactly which queen you're dealing with 👑

⭐ VERSION ⭐

5.14.3

(that's the version, bestie — write it down, it's the answer to the -V question 💜)

lowkey reminder that every flag here is copied exactly, character for character — no renaming, no merging, no inventing extra options. the vibes are mine, the facts are hers 🫶
