Change Background (GPL)

"Change Background.scpt" is an AppleScript that allows you to change the Mac OS X background image from the command-line. You can use this script as part of your own custom script to change the background image automatically based on programming condition. For example, I use it to change the background image depending on the number of displays I have connected to my notebook computer. You can use other conditions like today's weather, etc.
