Linux Bing Wallpaper changer

Yet another set of scripts for modern Linux ditro powered by systemd. Inspired by code of https://github.com/whizzzkid/bing-wallpapers-for-linux and https://github.com/marguerite/linux-bing-wallpaper. Actually update-bing-wallpaper is cleaned up and simplified fork of https://github.com/whizzzkid/bing-wallpapers-for-linux/bingwallpaper, so my acknoledgment to its author.

Reqirements

• wget -- mot likely you have it installed
• notify-send -- to show notifications (sudo apt install libnotify-bin) or notify-send.sh -- more powerful version of notify-send (https://github.com/vlevit/notify-send.sh)

Installation

wget https://github.com/marguerite/linux-bing-wallpaper/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
cp -r bing-wallpaper-master/bin ~
chmod +x ~/bin/update-bing-wallpaper

Edit this file ~/bin/update-bing-wallpaper to adjust wallpaper size/save path.

If you want wallpaper to be updated automatically (around 9:00, or soon after your login)

cp -r bing-wallpaper-master/.config ~
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable bing-wallpaper.timer
systemctl --user start bing-wallpaper.timer

And finally, cleanup

rm master.zip && rm -rf bing-wallpaper-master

Usage

• manually:

update-bing-wallpaper

this command will grab latest wallpaper (updated daily, won't download twice)

• or install systemd timer and enjoy

To disable timer execute

systemctl --user stop bing-wallpaper.timer
