I’m sure many of you are familiar with Bing, Microsoft‘s search tool which competes directly with Google. Regardless of which is the better search engine Bing has a cool feature in their picture of the day. Every day they post a different high-res picture to the home page and these pictures always look fantastic.

Bing Search Engine Download For Windows 10
One of the first things that initially crossed my mind was how do I make this my desktop image. Apparently I was not the only one and Microsoft released Bing Desktop Wallpaper for Windows 7. The program works exactly as advertised on my Windows 7 instances (though with some unwanted and non-disablable ‘features’). There really are no configuration options to this thing. Install and tell it to change your desktop everyday. That’s it.

Now enter my Mac OSX instances. I liked the Windows 7 desktops so much I wanted the same feature everywhere. A quick search for “Bing desktop Mac” brings up severaldifferentpages. Unfortunately the solutions either didn’t work, were too manual, or downloaded low quality versions of the photots.

I ended up taking a script initially developed by ktmud and modifying it to accomplish the following simple items:
- Download directly from bing.com
- Download the highest resolution image possible
- Allow the OS to handle changing of desktop images
Bing Download For Macbook Air
This same script should work on any *NIX system with bash and curl installed. I have also tested it in cygwin with success.
Keep in mind the following caveats:
- The script is a hack. It parses the Bing.com JS to download the image. Any changes Bing makes to their JS will probably break my script.
- The image quality is not as high as the images downloaded by the official Bing Desktop Wallpaper app. I am looking into this and will hopefully update the app to grab higher resolution images.
The latest version of the script can be found here: bing-wallpaper.
