tempfile=/tmp/dailywallpaper.txt
imagfile=/tmp/dailywallpaper.jpg

if [ ! -r $imagfile -o -n "$1" ]
then
    lynx -dump https://github.com/dconnolly/chromecast-backgrounds | awk '/githubusercontent/{print $2}' > $tempfile

    TOTAL=$(wc -l < $tempfile)

    # Got this from http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=11374
    RandomNumber=$(( $RANDOM % $TOTAL ))
    test ! $RandomNumber = 0 || RandomNumber=1

    DAILY=$(sed -n "${RandomNumber}p" $tempfile)

    wget -qO /tmp/dailywallpaper.${RandomNumber}.jpg $DAILY
    
    ln -sf /tmp/dailywallpaper.${RandomNumber}.jpg $imagfile
fi

nitrogen --set-scaled --save $imagfile

nitrogen didnt work for me, so i change last line to
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri $imagfile

and now it works perfectly -b
