Bing Wallpaper

While there is a seemingly endless supply of wallpapers available online, we always seem to have trouble finding the “right” one, and even the most impressive picture can get old after it’s been on your desktop for some time.

Bing Wallpaper is a nifty application that takes advantage of the high-quality images that are displayed on the Bing homepage every day. It can set these as your desktop background daily, and it is very user-friendly.

The application is incredibly easy to set up, as there are no settings for you to configure. You just need to launch the executable file once, as it can then be run automatically on startup.

Your wallpaper is set to the current Bing picture of the day when first launching the program, and then again every 24 hours. You can also force a wallpaper update at any time from the app’s system tray menu.

Those who visit the Bing homepage regularly know that the website offers some additional info for each picture of the day, such as its location and author. This app also provides these details, and they are displayed in an unobtrusive manner in the system tray menu.

Bing Wallpaper allows you to save a JPEG version of each wallpaper locally, and you can also copy the original BMP file from your temporary folder (User Name\AppData\Local\Temp).

The application is only displayed in the system tray upon launch, and it will be automatically run at startup by default. You are not likely to even notice it is still running, except when your wallpaper is updated every day.

As far as resource usage goes, the program takes up a very low amount of system memory, so there is no reason to be concerned.

In short, Bing Wallpaper is a small, easy-to-use application that can set the daily Bing homepage background as your wallpaper. It is very unobtrusive, and novices, in particular, should appreciate its straightforward design.
