Hey guys!

When it comes to tasker i have basic knowledge at best, so i turn to you for help.

So here is what I am trying to set up:
- I got 2 .jpg files to set as wallpaper, one for day and one for night. I am trying to change them according to sunrise and sunset times. It all started with Zooper in which, i created a widget that changes background based on sunrise/sunset times. Now i want that for my wallpaper as well :)

Here is what i know:
- we got this guy who created a a tasker plugin (nice job by the way): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.terdelle.twilight
- it is a Condition Plugin and i was thinking of using it to create a google calendar entry (calendar created special for this task ex: "Tasker") based on the plugins sunrise/sunset times. If this is possible, i dunno how :)
- next, create a new profile based on that calendar: "State- >App -> Calendar entry" and set a task to change the 2 files based on the sunrise and sunset calendar entries - also dunno how :(

Any help would be much appreciated, and maybe a nice feature for others to use. It's been hunting me for the last couple of days with no luck.

Thank you!

Throw out the calendar entry.

From what i can glean in the Play Store page, 
 you should be able to do this..

Enter Task: Set Night Wallpaper
Exit Task: Set Day Wallpaper

It seems like it would be that simple unless i'm missing something.
