Hi jsim
I tried that way originally but it didn't work great for us as it deploys the image too big cutting a lot of information out of the screen. I have now managed to deploy desktoppr and have found a way to scale the image down to the correct size using the desktoppr scale fit command on our devices.
Thank you :)
Thank you Melissa, this is excatly what I was looking for 🙂
Hi @Melissabryson,
I had to make some amendments to get the script working for me which I will share below.
#!/bin/bash
# Set the background image
/usr/local/bin/desktoppr /path/to/background_image.jpg
# set the background colour
/usr/local/bin/desktoppr color HEXcodehere
# Scale the image to fit the screen
/usr/local/bin/desktoppr scale fit
The --addtext function part of the script you provided earlier doesn't seem to be working for me do you have any ideas how I can get this part working?
When I run a desktoppr help command in terminal I can only see options for color and scale.
I'm using desktoppr 0.4 on a Apple silicon MacBook.
Any further help is much appreciated.
Thank you.

@jsim can you elaborate on the steps you took to set the desktop photo on client computers after you installed it to the /users/shared directory?
