Hello Atit. After modifying the source code, just compile the application, and replace the file /usr/bin/wallch with the executable that you will generate.

QtCreator can open the wallch.pro project file and provide you with a more easy to use interface for editing the code.

To build the code, just run from a terminal, after you've edited your code:
qmake wallch.pro
qmake
make
Note that some libs are needed so as to build the application, such as libunity-dev, libexif-dev, libdee-dev and some others, too.

Thanks for the help.It really matters for beginners like me.
but when i try to build this project using Qt creator it says unity.h is missing.but again when i install the project using software center it works well.so how can i debug it using Qt creator.

Hello Atit, I guess this question isn't so Wallch related, but well, I have kind heart (L.O.L)

First of all, run these through a terminal:
sudo apt-get install libdee-dev libunity-dev libexif-dev libnotify-dev (I think that's all)
and then open the wallch.pro file using QtCreator. Click on the green play button on the left (not the one with the bug on it) and the program should build and run...
