Bing wallpaper for mac

This program is written in python specifically for MacOS and tested on Catalina 10.15.1 running python 2.7.16 and is based upon bing-wallpaper-for-mac by an original work by Bobin Joseph (see LICENSE.md).

###Installation

• To install, copy the app into your /Applications folder or into your ~/Applications folder according to preference.
• To refresh the wallpaper automatically, you can run one of the scripts provided in the Scripts folder that will install a plist file into your LaunchAgents folder.

###Uninstall

• First run the provided uninstall script to stop auto refreshing the wallpaper
• Then delete the app from your Applications folder
• Optionally delete the ~/Pictures/bing-wallpaper folder and its contents

###Notes

• The app is written in python and is embedded in an Automator application.
  • The checker script checks to ensure there is internet connectivity, then checks to see if an image file already exists in the ~/Pictures/bing-wallpaper folder.
    • If there are files, it will check to see if the file was created today.
      • If the file was created today, it stops and doesn't do anything
      • Otherwise, it runs the script to download the wallpaper.
    • If there are no files, it runs the script to download the wallpaper
• The original script saved space by only keeping 1 image in the ~/Pictures/bing-wallpaper folder. I preferred to keep previous images and remove them manually so I modified the default behavior accordingly.
