Do you guys know any way to have bing daily images set automatically as wallpaper on your system ?
I am currently using this gnome extension and it works fine. But I am looking for something more desktop agnostic . I have searched trough a lot of websites , but all scripts seem to be not developed anymore…
I mean, it’s not entirely trivial, but you could probably script this yourself:
wget
the image to some path that gets overwritten each time the script gets run.feh
.And then schedule that script to be run daily, for example with
anacron
(which unlikecron
will do that task later, if it couldn’t be run at the scheduled time, because your system was off/suspended).You might not even need something like feh if you just have wget place the images in a folder the computers wallpaper slideshow function points to.
Also see below for some points on getting started.
