How It Works

I wrote this script with my own environment in mind, so it's pretty simple-minded. It fetches the XML describing today's image, then fetches the 1920x1200 sized version if it's available, the lower resolution version if not. Lastly, it uses Feh or Gnome to set the wallpaper for your environment. I've tested it in i3 and Gnome 3.14.2 and nowhere else.

Using the Script

Just install the gem...

gem install bingwallpaper

And then invoke the script.
