Sync Wallpaper with Terminator background image?

I was wondering if i could sync the background image of my terminal(Terminator aka x-terminal-emulator) with the current desktop wallpaper and i got to the point of having a bashrc alias that updates the config file's specific line where the background image path resides,but it presents these problems:

  • Manual Input:I must input the alias twice to change the terminator background image to the current desktop wallpaper
  • Turning off and on:The alias also closes and opens new terminator instances,making the split view layout reset everytime i want to manually change it and the change less seamless.

Idea:

  • Theres a specific command to monitor changes in all settings,like window border theme,desktop wallpaper image,desktop wallpaper resize mode,etc etc.Now, could a bg job be searching for any wallpaper changes and act upon that?
  • How would it close and open terminator?Is there a way to avoid this?
