do we have a script of binary which generates random wallpapers from a seed? I found robohash but it's only good for profile picture instead of entire wallpaper. https://github.com/e1ven/Robohash https://robohash.org/?set=set5&bgset=bg1

it would be nice to have something which generate seemingly random but aesthetic wallpapers.

Here's one I know. Creates aesthetic wavy things.

It is an HTML/JS pair, so it would require some wrangling to get it to write to a file instead of an HTML canvas. Though it looks like someone translated it to Python with file output here. (I have not tested this.)

exactly what I need, creates good safe for work wallpapers. we can also change the wallpaper daily since it's being generated procedurally ( I assume ).

Thank you so much!
