Update September 20, 2016: Added support for all versions and auto build for PPA.

Bing pictures of the day are some of the best picture collections in the world. They are fresh, updated daily and looks so cool. I am simply addicted to them since I upgraded to a windows phone 2 years ago. I have them installed on my PC (bind desktop), Nexus 7 (Muzei Live Wallpaper). They somehow remind me of webshots (7-10 yrs back).

I spend most of my time on my laptop, which runs Ubuntu Gnome but unfortunately there is no provision to integrate Bing pictures of the day as your daily wallpapers. There are some scripts available that need to be installed alongside a cronjob, but setting them up can be a pain for n00bs.

I just wrote a package and is available via my PPA. To install this package you just need to:

Step 1: ALT+CTRL+T (this should open up the terminal)

Step 2: Add my PPA, press ENTER/enter password when asked:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:whizzzkid/bingwallpaper

Step 3: Refresh your package list and install:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install bingwallpaper

The package should now be installed. The system will activate on the next reboot. But if you're impatient, you can fire the following command to see immediate effect:

sh /usr/bin/bingwallpaper
