   So I have been trying for a week to figure this out by myself and I have failed tragically multiple times. I want to change my website's background image (here)to this from midnight to 4 am every night as an easter egg. I have tried to use both php and javascript, but I have experience in neither and the results have been, as I mentioned earlier, tragic. I know a little more php then java, but any help either way would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

   Easiest probably for you to just write a shell script (if Linux/UNIX) or batch file if windows to copy whichever image you want to the destination file. Then run as a cron job at appropriate times.

   day.sh
   

   #!/bin/sh
   # This copies image for daytime
   cp /mydir/dayimage.png /wp-content/uploads/background.png

   night.sh
   

   #!/bin/sh
   # This copies image for nighttime
   cp /mydir/mightimage.png /wp-content/uploads/background.png
