A script download Bing's img and set as wallpaper

Project description

Latest Version The MIT License Platform

Requirements

  • Linux platform

  • Python 2.7

  • Requests lib

  • Python-notify

Install

sudo pip install wonderful_bing
sudo apt-get install python-notify

Usage

  • Manually

You need to set a directory to save the download pictures, end with ‘/’.

$ wonderful_bing -d /path/to/save/pictures/
  • Automatically(recommand)

  1. Add it to startup application(in my Linux Mint16), then every time you boot up your pc, this script will automatically run for you.

  2. Use cron. Let me give you an example:

    0 8 * * * env DISPLAY=:0 /usr/local/bin/wonderful_bing -d /path/to/save/

we need ``env DISPLAY=:0``, otherwise the notify can’t display at all, and remember the ``/`` at the end.

Snapshots

the first time you run it:

$ wonderful_bing -d /home/lord63/pictures/bing/
Successfully download the picture to --> /home/lord63/pictures/bing/CascadePools.jpg
Successfully set the picture as the wallpaper. :)

if you don’t set the directory:

$ wonderful_bing -d /home/lord63/pictures/bing/
Set the directory to save Bing's imgs first.
For more information, use --help.

if the picture has been downloaded before:

$ wonderful_bing -d /home/lord63/pictures/bing/
You have downloaded the picture before.
Have a look at it --> /home/lord63/pictures/bing/CascadePools.jpg

if your pc doesn’t connect to the network, it will try again after 5 mins.

$ wonderful_bing -d /home/lord63/pictures/bing/

Will try again after 5 minutes.
