Screen Saver Quotes With Perl GD

July 12, 2019January 30, 2020 Dave 0 Comments coding, Perl, programming, scripting

If you’ve ever wanted a screen saver with motivational quotes, but didn’t know how to make one – here is a Perl script to do it for you.

I wanted to see how the GD module worked. I created a small script to generate a bunch of JPGs to help myself learn. The Perl code takes a list of quotes below the __DATA__ marker, centers them, and then creates an image of that text on a dark background.

Power of Life and Death In the Tongue

Proverbs 18:21 states:
Death and Life are in the power of the tongue and those that love it will eat it’s fruit.

I think this also applies to what we steer our inner voice to say to ourselves. This is another reason why this script was written – to retrain my mind to speak kindly to myself.

Sample Outputs

Using Pictures as Backgrounds (Windows 10)

Right click your windows 10 desktop and select “Personalize”

Then change the background settings to be a slideshow. Use the folder where all of your pictures are and modify how fast you want to change them:

Using Pictures as Backgrounds (ChromeBook)

Right click your background or search for “Wall Paper Picker”
Click on “My Images” and select the folder of your images

Source Code to Create Screen Saver Images with Perl GD

#!/usr/bin/perl

# GD demo.  https://rubysash.com
# This program makes a bunch of jpgs with quotes on them.
# use for affirmations, screensavers, memes, flashcards, passive learning
# or simply as a reminder that you are God's wonderful creation.
# The intent was to steer my inner voice.  Enjoy.
#
# Modify the quotes below the DATA mark
# Do not include quotes inside of quotes.
# single quotes are ok
# blank lines are ignored
# "should be in this format. |Author here"
# Standard ascii only, other characters stripped

# run the program from the CLI:
# perl cuts.pl

# Put all the jpgs created into a folder 
# set your screen saver or background image manager to cycle through them.

# The intent was to steer my inner voice. Enjoy.

# Modify the quotes below the DATA mark

# Standard ascii only, other characters stripped

# run the program from the CLI:
