Bing Wallpaper

Keep your wallpaper up to date with Bing's image of the day, every day.

NEW Added ability to change default country and change default resolution.

Some resolutions may not be available for certain wallpapers. When you select a resolution that is not supported by that wallpaper, it changes the wallpaper to the default wallpaper:

Usage

Build yourself

• Grab the code

git clone https://github.com/Inchworm333/bing-wallpaper.git

• Open .sln file in Visual Studio

• Build

• Run

.../BingWallpaper/bin/Release/BingWallpaper.exe

Binary

Download from Softpedia

What does this do?

Running the application will create a background process that changes your desktop background to Bing's image of the day, repeating every 24 hours.

It adds a key to the registry so that it is run on startup.

A tray icon is visible while the application is running (thanks @MichaelMK) which provides the ability to:

• View wallpaper source
• Force wallpaper update
• Save wallpaper as image
• Disable launch on startup
• Change default wallpaper resolution
• Change default bing country

Uninstall

Disable startup launch through the tray icon and then delete the executable.

You may also disable startup launch by either of these ways:

• Going to your registry (regedit in Run) and deleting the key BingWallpaper under: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

OR

• Going to Task Manager -> Startup and disabling BingWallpaper.

Compatibility

This only works on Windows systems.

Tested on Windows 10 as admin user.
