Interesting idea. I may steal that from you.

It gets technical and I'm not going to be able to help directly but I first thought of "cron jobs". That's a scheduled job you can run a script to move in the wallpaper you want.

It won't do much though because the device is sleeping most of the time so the job won't run. A quick google suggests that a "rtc alarm" may do the trick instead.

That's the depth of what I was willing to research today. I think doing this will drain your battery but I could be wrong.

The other possibility is a script that runs when you wake the device, but I didn't find an answer for that with 30 seconds of googling.

Good luck and I'll watch this topic with interest.
