prerequisites:
Need convert installed

Add BackgroundChanger.py to cron, with settings on how often you want
it to update
e.g
crontab -e
*/30 * * * * export DISPLAY=:0; /home/Username/BackgroundChanger.py c
will update every 30 minutes

Takes in one optional parameter c to decide whether to use celsius, 
defualt is farenhiet

Background images are downloaded and converted to size of
users screen automatically 

Only works on gnome for now (version 2 and 3) and XFCE

Might need to include a few more TypesOfWeather and images to match all
kinds of options available on the site. But concept works
