Changing Desktop Backgrounds Based on Mood or Time of Day

Recently, I made a habit of changing backgrounds on my Linux Mint desktop. I tend to get bored of looking at the same image in front of me over and over. So I decided to change backgrounds frequently.

I use backgrounds depending on my current moon or the time of the day.

When I feel happy, I use bright or vivid backgrounds.

But when I feel low, I use a more moody image.

As for the time of the day, obviously I use bright backgrounds like day time photos.

In the night, not only I use darker backgrounds, I also choose the ones that have little to no blue light elements on them.

You noticed these are photos from Japan, which is my recent special interest. Being immersed in Japanese culture makes me happy :)
